The Jack Wolf Backwoods FixedC Starburst is where compact fixed-blade practicality meets a bold, luminous finish that’s impossible to ignore. Built in the J.W. Kollab Series and designed by Melissa “Backwoods” Miller, this knife brings a confident blend of everyday usefulness and collector-grade detail—sleek enough for daily carry, tough enough for real cutting tasks, and stylish enough to feel like a custom piece every time you draw it.
The highlight is right in the name: Titanium Starburst scales. They catch and scatter light with a radiating pattern that feels kinetic, almost like motion frozen in metal. It’s a look that’s modern, clean, and distinctive without being over-the-top. In hand, the titanium feels solid and substantial, and it gives the knife a crisp, premium character that stands out from the usual handle materials. Framing those scales are bronze anodized titanium liners and bolsters, adding warmth and contrast that makes the Starburst pattern pop even more. That bronze tone isn’t just eye candy—it adds a refined, high-end vibe while keeping the build lightweight and ready for carry.
The accents stay perfectly coordinated. A Snake Knot paracord lanyard adds quick, practical control when you’re drawing the knife or adjusting grip, and the bronze anodized titanium bead at the end finishes it off with a matching metallic touch. Even the hardware is on point: bronze anodized titanium Torx screws keep everything secure while reinforcing the knife’s cohesive color story. It’s the kind of detail work that makes the whole package feel intentional, like every piece was chosen to complement the next.
Carry is handled by an ambidextrous black leather sheath with white stitching and a clip, so it’s ready to set up for right- or left-hand use without any drama. The leather gives it that classic, trustworthy feel, while the white stitch adds a clean, tailored contrast. The clip keeps it convenient and stable, whether you’re wearing it on the belt, stashing it on a pack strap, or keeping it close for day-to-day utility. It’s secure, comfortable, and built to match the knife’s premium vibe.
The blade is where the Starburst proves it’s more than just good looks. You get a hollow ground Crucible S90V stainless steel clip point, a high-end steel choice that’s known for impressive edge retention and excellent wear resistance. That means you can put it to work and keep working—less time touching up, more time cutting clean. The hollow grind helps it glide through material with a slicey, efficient feel, while the clip point profile gives you a fine, controllable tip for precision tasks. Finished in belt satin, the blade has that classic, smooth sheen that looks sharp out of the box and stays handsome with use.
At 6” overall with a 2.98" blade length, the Backwoods FixedC hits a sweet spot for carry and control. It’s compact enough to keep on you every day without feeling cumbersome, and at just 2.4 oz., it stays light and easy to forget until you need it. Add in box artwork by Sean Tiffany, and you’ve got a knife that arrives with personality and polish, ready to display, gift, or put straight into rotation.
