Begg Knives Slipjoint Folding Knife Black G10 2.88in Satin Recurve Blade BG038

Blending timeless design with modern craftsmanship, the Jared Van Otterloo Slipjoint Folding Knife from Begg Knives is a standout example of practical elegance. As part of the acclaimed Steelcraft Series, this non-locking folder channels the refined touch of a custom piece while maintaining a production-friendly price. Designer Jared Van Otterloo envisioned a slipjoint that bucks the trend of overly minimal pocket knives, instead delivering a tool with real substance and feel, without tipping the scales into excess.

At its core is a 2.88-inch recurve harpoon blade crafted from Sandvik 14C28N stainless steel. Known for its high hardness and reliable edge retention, the satin-finished blade features a harpoon tip for reinforced piercing strength and a recurved edge that bites deeper into material with every slice. Ideal for controlled slicing, utility work, and draw cuts, this blade performs as impressively as it looks.

The black G10 handle scales provide a secure, textured grip, further reinforced by polished stainless steel bolsters and a classic shield insert that elevates its traditional profile. Though it’s a slipjoint, the knife’s thick, contoured handle offers the same confidence and control you’d expect from a larger tactical folder. It opens with a deliberate “walk and talk” action, including a half-stop for added security during use.

At 4.16 ounces and just over 4 inches closed, this knife is balanced, pocket-friendly, and legal in many jurisdictions where locking blades are restricted. There’s no pocket clip to disrupt its clean silhouette, making it an ideal companion for trousers, jackets, or gear pouches. Whether you’re looking for an elegant everyday carry or a capable utility piece that won’t raise eyebrows, the Jared Van Otterloo Slipjoint Folding Knife offers strength, sophistication, and usability in equal measure.

Built under the strict oversight of Begg Knives, this model reflects a high level of precision, consistent quality, and strong value. It’s not just a knife—it’s a statement of what modern slipjoints can be: bold, capable, and ready to work.
