High quality, extremely collectible handmade knives since the 1800s.
SHOP CASE KNIVESThe Jack Wolf After Hours Jack Purple Abalone is where modern precision meets refined tradition, delivering a folding knife that feels just as appropriate in a tailored jacket as it does riding in your pocket day after day. Built on the elegant Coffin Barlow pattern, this knife blends classic lines with contemporary materials, creating a piece that’s both visually striking and exceptionally capable.
Purple abalone scales immediately set this knife apart, offering rich color shifts and natural patterning that make every example feel one of a kind. Those scales are framed by integral bolsters and liners crafted from dark blasted 6AL/4V titanium, giving the knife a clean, cohesive look with strength to match its sophistication. Polished titanium Torx hardware adds a subtle contrast, while the polished titanium back spacer and pocket clip elevate the overall finish. If you prefer a cleaner, traditional carry, the included pocket clip recess plug allows seamless clipless carry without disrupting the knife’s lines.
Opening the After Hours Jack is smooth and satisfying thanks to its frame lock, also known as a bolster lock, riding on ceramic bearings. The action feels crisp and controlled, making one-handed deployment effortless while still maintaining the refined character Jack Wolf Knives is known for. Once open, the stainless steel lock bar insert ensures solid lockup and long-term reliability.
The hollow ground blade is crafted from premium Crucible S90V, a steel celebrated for outstanding edge retention and wear resistance. Finished in a clean belt satin, the blade balances performance with understated elegance. Measuring 3.15 inches in blade length with a 2.76-inch cutting edge, it offers plenty of usable edge for daily cutting tasks while remaining sleek and easy to carry. The 0.12-inch blade stock provides a confident feel without unnecessary bulk, and the Rockwell hardness of 60–61 ensures the blade is ready for serious use.
At 4.16 inches closed to the top of the flipper tab and weighing just 2.7 ounces, this knife disappears in the pocket yet feels substantial in hand. Its slim profile, measuring only 0.46 inches scale to scale or 0.60 inches including the clip, makes it an ideal companion for those who appreciate lightweight carry without sacrificing quality or strength.
Made under strict quality standards and packaged with distinctive tube artwork by J. Gonzo, the After Hours Jack Purple Abalone is as collectible as it is practical. It’s a standout choice for enthusiasts who value premium materials, refined action, and timeless style.
