The Jack Pine Special is an original take on the “Willow Leaf” knife blade design, also called the Canadian Belt Knife. It’s a versatile model that has stood up to the rigors of real life work in the field while packing a lot of style.
-
The Jack Pine Special comes standard with a blade length of about 4 1/4 inches and the overall length is about 8 7/8 inches. There is also a custom option for a 5-inch blade.
- Blade is crafted out of O-1 high-carbon tool steel, 1/8-inch thick, and comes standard with an aged finish. Satin and hammer-forged finishes are available as custom options.
- Brass pins are the hardware of choice for this model, but these can be upgraded to 3/16″ mosaic pins.
- About 1″ of thumb jimping is filed into the spine of the Jack Pine Special and is included in the price of the knife…or you can customize by swapping out a different filework pattern! Click to see an example of the X-jimping, Classic, and Vine filework patterns.
-
Jack comes standard with a slight palm swell handle that offers a great fit in the hand. Seriously…this knife is comfortable. And it’s available with virtually any handle material! Curly maple is a very popular choice for this model and is available with several different stain options. Just add your choice of either “buckskin stain” or “dark brown stain” or “chocolate stain” in the special instructions box below. The model example above has a curly maple handle with a dark brown stain. Stain colors will not be a guaranteed match.
- Each knife also comes standard with a handcrafted vertical-carry leather sheath.
