Meet the Jack Wolf Backwoods FixedC Abalone, a standout from the J.W. Kollab Series that’s built for folks who appreciate refined materials, practical carry, and a punchy cutting profile in a compact fixed blade. Designed by Melissa “Backwoods” Miller, this knife blends wild-at-heart character with polished execution, giving you a piece that’s just as comfortable on a weekend trail as it is riding along every day.
The first thing you’ll notice is the Abalone scales. They’re vibrant without being loud, shifting in the light with that ocean-deep shimmer that makes each knife feel one-of-a-kind. Paired with Dark Blast Titanium liners and bolsters, the look stays classy and tough, with a muted, modern contrast that keeps the flash in check while still turning heads. Dark Blast Titanium Torx hardware ties everything together with a clean, purpose-built vibe, and it’s the kind of detail work that tells you this knife wasn’t thrown together—it was composed.
At the back, you get a Snake Knot paracord lanyard finished with a Dark Blast Titanium bead, adding grip, control, and a touch of style. It’s a small addition that makes a big difference when you’re pulling the knife from the sheath or working in slick conditions. Speaking of carry, the ambidextrous black leather sheath with white stitching brings the whole package home. It’s handsome, secure, and ready for right- or left-hand use, and the included clip keeps it convenient when you want it accessible without fuss.
Performance-wise, the Backwoods FixedC is all business. The hollow ground clip point blade is crafted from Crucible S90V stainless steel, a premium choice known for holding an edge through serious use. The belt satin finish adds a smooth, classic sheen while helping keep the blade looking sharp and clean. With a 2.98" blade length and a 0.12" blade thickness, it hits a sweet spot: thin enough for crisp slicing, sturdy enough for confident utility work. The 6" total length keeps it compact and controllable, and at only 2.1 oz., it disappears on the belt until it’s time to get to work.
Even the packaging brings extra personality, featuring box artwork by Sean Tiffany. It’s a finishing touch that makes the whole experience feel collectible, giftable, and thoughtfully curated from start to finish.
