The Antique Ivory Paper Micarta scales are what you notice first. They offer a smooth, warm tone that calls back to the timeless appeal of natural ivory without sacrificing durability or stability. This material is known for aging gracefully, developing character the more it’s carried, and it provides a comfortable, subtle texture that feels great between the fingers. Paired with satin stainless steel integral bolsters and liners, the knife presents an elegant, seamless aesthetic that highlights its premium build quality. Nickel silver pins and the traditional banner shield complement the look, reinforcing the knife’s classic roots while maintaining a modern level of fit and finish.
Inside that classic frame is a blade built for performance. The flat-ground Sandvik 14C28N stainless steel blade delivers dependable edge retention, excellent corrosion resistance, and the kind of cutting efficiency users have come to expect from Jack Wolf designs. Measuring 2.75 inches, the blade length gives you plenty of functional cutting area without overwhelming the knife’s compact profile. The belt satin finish adds a sleek, fine-textured look that matches the rest of the knife’s understated sophistication. The long pull opener suits the slipjoint design perfectly, offering a smooth, confident opening motion that feels right at home on a knife inspired by timeless pocketknife traditions.
Closed, the knife measures 3.73 inches—compact enough for comfortable everyday carry but substantial enough to feel reassuring when it’s in your hand. Open, it stretches to 6.48 inches, giving you a confident grip and enough blade to handle a wide range of daily tasks. Weighing only 2.7 ounces, it disappears in the pocket but never feels insubstantial when called into action. Every contour, every transition, and every finish speaks to the meticulous craftsmanship that defines Jack Wolf’s approach to traditional knives.
The satin-finished spring provides smooth, consistent tension, adding to the knife’s satisfying tactile experience. Collectors and slipjoint enthusiasts will appreciate the firm yet responsive action, showcasing the knife’s mechanical precision. It’s the kind of detail you feel instantly—subtle, intentional, and executed with care.
