The Jack Wolf Laid Back Jack Jigged Titanium Satin is a sophisticated interpretation of the classic Swayback Jack pattern, crafted for those who appreciate traditional knife forms elevated through premium materials and precise modern execution. This knife blends timeless design with contemporary performance, resulting in a piece that feels refined, purposeful, and unmistakably high end.
The blade is made from Crucible S90V stainless steel, a top-tier steel known for its 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 tapers to a fine, controlled tip. This geometry excels at precision work and clean, deliberate cuts, offering outstanding control and confidence during use. A hand satin finish enhances the blade’s visual appeal, revealing subtle grind lines that reflect the care and craftsmanship behind each knife. The right-hand nail nick opener reinforces the knife’s traditional roots and allows for smooth, intentional blade deployment.
The handle and frame are crafted entirely from titanium, giving this Laid Back Jack a distinctive presence and a refined, modern feel. The jigged satin titanium handle provides a unique texture that recalls classic jigged bone while delivering the strength, durability, and light weight of metal. The frame is constructed from bead blasted 6AL-4V titanium, adding structural integrity and a subtle matte contrast to the satin-finished handle. Together, these elements create a cohesive design that balances visual interest with functional comfort. At just 2.6 ounces, the knife feels substantial without being heavy, offering excellent balance in hand and easy carry.
Polished titanium Torx hardware adds a clean, contemporary accent and underscores the knife’s premium construction. Every detail feels intentional and well executed, from the precise fit of the components to the smooth, confident action. 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 maintains compact proportions while still providing a highly usable cutting edge. The 0.12-inch blade thickness strikes an ideal balance between strength and slicing efficiency, reinforcing the knife’s practical capabilities.
The Swayback Jack pattern is admired for its elegant curve and ergonomic flow, and this version exemplifies those qualities. The gentle arc of the handle fits naturally in the hand, promoting comfort and control during extended use. It’s a design that feels as good to use as it does to admire, blending classic lines with modern refinement.
Presentation is elevated by custom tube artwork from J. Gonzo, adding an artistic and collectible element that complements the knife’s distinctive character. This attention to presentation reflects the pride Jack Wolf Knives takes in every aspect of their creations.
