I wish Jack Wolf would come out with a budget friendly (sub $100) series. Call it the "Jack diddly" or something. Maybe no tube and cloth and all the other extras. Just cut down on cost a bit? I think it would open the brand up to the wider market.
Got to handle some of these at Blade. Turned out freaking sick! The fuller flick is perfect and even the front flip. I 100% trust JWK but honestly I was still surprised they were able to get it so perfect on their first locking folder. ✌️🔪
Those are all so sick! I love the respect for traditional design and still getting so many new modern options onboarded. Flipper, lock, clip or no clip...all with keeping that slip joint feel! The only problem is how could you possibly narrow it down to one color combo?!? The gold!!!! But, that Blue!!!!
LOVE that S90V steel. Real tool edge retention with class!!! Good to see great function and great form. This consumer is done with Fidget Toy Steel (14c28n, as a for instance) that other manufacturers sell to flickers who do not use the blade.
Ive heard youll be doing exclusive drops with your distributors Ben? If so im wondering if BladesCanada will get its own exclusive drop for us Canadians?
Should’ve done a reversible clip!! You could put that blocker in the side not used. The sales guys a lefty too!! The point is you need to anchor your fingers on the clip when flipping. Bummer.
I was never a fan of the prices on the slip joint javk wolf knives, and I am even less a fan of the new locking versions at the price. Why should I buy one of these when Enrique Pena does mostly the same thing for less money?
All I offer is another choice in the market. There are key differences in my versions which some people might find attractive. I have a different flipper tab, I have fat carbon on all models and anodized parts, my version is bigger, my version can be flicked open or thumb rolled, I have a darker blast on my Ti, and my version comes with a pocket clip delete insert. I also have creative and interesting packaging. If these features are found to be advantageous I hope people will give my knives a try. If not, I can certainly understand why they would prefer the Pena. Thank you for reading.
Wish they were American made. And I know it's subjective but they're just overpriced for me. If I ever did own or carry a slip joint, jack wolf would be the way I'd go.
$350 isn’t a very competitive price in terms of the objective materials or even quality, which is kind of sad to see, since I’ve been wanting them to do a locking version of one of their very-aesthetically-pleasing clip points for a long time. The fact it’s being put together overseas only makes the price more silly. This is one where I can’t promise myself I’ll never take the dive to buy it, but I know that if I do, I’ll hate myself for it for a good while as my wallet cries out in agony
Hello there, I am Ben the guy in the video. Thank you for your feedback. Please understand that the price of this knife is driven by 3 major factors: The price to manufacture, the price to distribute and the fact I cannot work for free. These knives are not cheap to manufacture despite being made in China. The fit and finish is excellent, the materials are not cheap and there is skilled hand labor involved. I also have to make a profit margin in order to run my business. I work on this business 7 days a week and it is my full time occupation. I make a reasonable margin that frankly, if it were any less, would not be worth the amount of time I put into it. I actually make less dollars than the dealers do on these. Thank you for reading.
@@BenBelkin holy cow. You're a legend my friend. Somehow you cracked the code on the cleanest looking knives ever made. I'll own one someday. Thanks for all your work.
Why buy a severely overpriced Jack Wolf slip joint knife for between $200 - $400 (on average) when you can buy a well made & much more practical Swiss Army knife for $30 - $50 and have enough money left over to take the family on holiday? Vanity, vanity, all is vanity, so go ahead Suckers, feed your vanity & spend your cash on a Jack Wolf knife and whilst its languishing in cupboard like a safe queen, its your workhorse Victorinox Huntsman that will sit in your pocket & cut open your packages from Amazon.
Hey Steve, I have to say if you are anything it is persistent as you never fail to make the same negative comments under nearly every videos about my knives. Of course this is your right and I hope you get enjoyment out of it. Have a great day.
@@BenBelkin I don't make any money out of commenting, don't get any freebies, have no shares in any Swiss Army knife stockist. My comments are not negative, I point out the obvious that your knives are very expensive irrespective of whether they are well made or not and above all else they do not represent fair value in a product. Its time that we customers are respected by folks that make or promote sales on line of knives like yours & not be treated as suckers to be milked dry of our cash. I am a capitalist and understand that you wish to earn as much money as possible but please don't think that we are all going to worship the ground you stand on just because you make fancy shmancy knives.
@@stevesinclair4159 You should come visit with us at the table at the Blade Show in Utah or Fort Worth, Steve. I'd enjoy being able to talk this through with you in person. Have a great day.
@@BenBelkin Whilst I appreciate the invitation I live in Tel Aviv, Israel (I was born in London, England) I am 72 and have no plans to visit the USA anytime soon. I have had a Swiss Army knife in my pocket since I was 8 years old but I don't exclusively carry & use only Victorinox & Wenger knives for EDC, I have Bucks, Schrades,, Case XX, Civivi, Kershaws and Rough Ryders (and their sub-brands) in my EDC rotation & as collector items. Wishing you good luck & I hope your knives sell well.
Sure there is. Some people enjoy the look of seeing the grind. Of course the alternative is to media blast or stonewash the blade which are really just shortcuts often to cover up blemishes in the grind.
350 is painful, but man that thing is sweet. It looks fantastic.
I am glad you like it!
$350 very painful
@@2fargonedaytona128Rolex ain’t cheap
@@bodythetan sure ain’t but still $350 too much for this red neck
I've been dreaming of owning a Jack Wolf knife for a while, now that they have a locking version, I'm about going nuts wanting one...
I think you’re gonna really like it Tim 🔥
Thank you Tim!!

Maybe the "Lone Wolf" line? Because it would be just the knife?
Cool idea!!

Thank you Christian!
The folks at jack wolf listened. Lovely new blades
yes sir I sure have been listening! Thank you for the kind words!
I want one of these real bad now.
Why? Its less practical for use than any Swiss Army knife out there at a fraction of the price.
Awesome Jack.!
Thank you!
Jack Wolf Knives are 🔥🔥🔥
Thank you!
Love it, just love it.
Thank you!
These are awesome
Thank you!!
Ordered mine today man o man can't wait. Well worth the money. This knife is going to stay in my family for years
Amazing as all the other previous slipjoint, with a surprise, the lock. It rocks /💯
Thank you my friend!
Just ordered a little bro,can't wait to get it😊
Ive been looking forward to these coming out .
Thank you Josh!
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Thank you!!
I want that front flipper Jackwolf! Just want it in a different blade/handle shape PLEASE!!
If these are popular I will convert more versions of my slip joints into this form factor.
Please make the vampire Jack with a bolster lock too! Do this with all the knives in your line. They will sell like hot cakes.
Hi Chris, if these are popular I am planning to do just that!
Looking forward to adding this to the collection!
Thank you for the support!!
Amazing, I knew this would happen eventually. I will be buying one,markng my caldendar!
Thank you for the kind words and support!

Okay, takey money now lol. I am for sure gonna get me one of these so long as they are available
They will be available June 16th!! Thank you for the kind words!
Ive heard youll be doing exclusive drops with your distributors Ben? If so im wondering if BladesCanada will get its own exclusive drop for us Canadians?
I mean if Jack Wolf doesn’t has his own video game in the future! 🤷♂️
I like how you think!
These are going to sell out quick!
At those prices?! XD
I sure hope so!!
The Parang looks awesome, condolences. What a great tribute to him though
Very nice.
Thank you!
If they do a locking cyborg jack... take my money.
Suggestion noted!
A leather sheath with a clip would be nice when removing the clip from the knife.
Should’ve done a reversible clip!! You could put that blocker in the side not used. The sales guys a lefty too!! The point is you need to anchor your fingers on the clip when flipping. Bummer.

Thank you!
Here's your personals dudes🌸
Wish they were American made. And I know it's subjective but they're just overpriced for me. If I ever did own or carry a slip joint, jack wolf would be the way I'd go.
They claim to be made in Arizona, where are they made?
@@HRM.H China
Made in china, except for that and the price, everything else is perfect
The problem is if they were made in the US they’d be significantly more expensive and people would complain even more. (Check the benchmade video)😬
I see it confirmed?
$350, nah
$350 isn’t a very competitive price in terms of the objective materials or even quality, which is kind of sad to see, since I’ve been wanting them to do a locking version of one of their very-aesthetically-pleasing clip points for a long time.

There's no reason for grind lines to be left on any blade, of any price.
You clearly do not know much about making knives. Especially grinding and finishing
@@HammerSmashedFace92 wrong
Absolutely cheapens any blade; makes these look unfinished.
Sure there is. Some people enjoy the look of seeing the grind. Of course the alternative is to media blast or stonewash the blade which are really just shortcuts often to cover up blemishes in the grind.
