SHOP CASE KNIVESThe Jack Wolf Laid Back Jack Rosewood is a timeless interpretation of the classic Swayback Jack pattern, blending traditional materials with modern engineering and premium fit and finish. Designed for those who appreciate understated elegance and proven performance, this knife reflects the enduring appeal of natural handle materials paired with advanced blade steel and precision construction.
The blade is crafted from Crucible S90V stainless steel, a high-end steel known for exceptional edge retention, impressive wear resistance, and excellent corrosion performance. Shaped in a Wharncliffe profile, the blade features a straight cutting edge and a gently sloping spine that narrows to a fine, controllable tip. This geometry excels at clean, accurate cuts and detailed work, offering confidence and control with every use. A hand satin finish enhances the blade’s refined appearance, showcasing subtle grind lines that speak to careful craftsmanship. The right-hand nail nick opener reinforces the knife’s traditional character and provides smooth, deliberate blade deployment.
The handle is fitted with rich rosewood, bringing warmth and natural beauty to the Laid Back Jack’s graceful silhouette. Rosewood has long been favored for its durability, smooth feel, and distinctive grain, and each handle displays its own unique character. The wood’s deep tones pair beautifully with the modern titanium components, creating a balanced aesthetic that bridges classic and contemporary design. Integral bolsters and liners made from 6AL-4V bead blasted titanium provide strength and rigidity while keeping the overall weight to just 2.4 ounces. This thoughtful combination of materials results in a knife that feels solid and well balanced without sacrificing carry comfort.
Polished titanium Torx hardware adds a subtle modern accent and reinforces the knife’s premium build quality. Every component is precisely fitted, reflecting Jack Wolf Knives’ attention to detail and commitment to excellence. With a closed length of 3.66 inches, a blade length of 2.83 inches, and an overall length of 6.49 inches, the Laid Back Jack offers compact proportions that carry easily while still delivering a highly usable cutting edge. The 0.12-inch blade thickness strikes a confident balance between strength and slicing efficiency.
The Swayback Jack pattern is admired for its elegant curve and ergonomic flow, and this design fits naturally in the hand. The gentle arc of the handle promotes comfort and control, making the knife a pleasure to use whether it’s called upon for everyday cutting tasks or simply enjoyed as part of a refined collection.
Presentation is elevated by custom tube artwork from J. Gonzo, adding an artistic and collectible element that complements the knife’s classic character. This finishing touch enhances the overall ownership experience and reflects the pride taken in every detail of the design.
