The Jack Wolf Equal End 80s Camo Carbon from the Gateway Series brings a bold, modern twist to one of the most classic slipjoint patterns ever made. It’s a fusion of old-school charm and contemporary attitude, crafted with the level of precision and refinement that has earned Jack Wolf a loyal following among collectors and everyday users alike. This knife doesn’t just look unique—it feels unique—combining premium materials, tight tolerances, and thoughtful details that make it stand out from the moment it leaves your pocket.
The first thing that grabs your attention is the 80s Camo Fat Carbon scales. With vibrant, shifting patterns and layered depth, this material adds energy and personality to the timeless Equal End silhouette. Fat Carbon is known for its strength, stability, and featherlight feel, and pairing it with this retro-inspired colorway gives the knife a distinctive identity you won’t mistake for anything else. The smooth contours of the scales flow seamlessly into the satin stainless steel integral bolsters and liners, creating a cohesive, high-end look. Nickel silver pins and the traditional banner shield complete the aesthetic, grounding the modern flash with the classic touches collectors appreciate.
The blade is a flat-ground Sandvik 14C28N stainless steel performer, built to offer dependable edge retention and corrosion resistance with a clean, responsive cutting feel. At 2.75 inches (69.9 mm), it’s the ideal size for a pocket knife meant to serve as a daily companion. The belt satin finish provides a refined, understated sheen, while the long pull opener pays tribute to traditional slipjoint style. It opens with a smooth, confident motion that feels crisp and precise, reflecting the attention Jack Wolf puts into every mechanical detail.
Closed, the knife measures 3.73 inches (94.7 mm), making it compact, comfortable, and easy to carry. Open, it reaches a well-balanced 6.48 inches, giving you plenty of control and cutting ability without sacrificing its sleek, symmetrical profile. Weighing just 2.7 ounces, it practically disappears in the pocket, yet the construction remains solid and reassuring, thanks to the integral stainless steel structure and meticulously finished satin spring. The spring tension is tuned to perfection—firm, smooth, and satisfying—bringing a tactile pleasure that slipjoint enthusiasts will immediately appreciate.
What makes this model particularly compelling is how it blends character with capability. The Equal End pattern delivers its familiar, time-tested silhouette, while the 80s Camo Fat Carbon injects a refreshing and playful edge. It’s the kind of knife that sparks conversations, catches the light in unexpected ways, and still performs with the dependable, refined consistency Jack Wolf knives are known for.
