The Old Forge Copper Fitted Bearhead Jack 4.50" Model OF025 is a traditional folder built with a clear respect for classic design and everyday utility. It carries the timeless lines of a Bearhead Jack while incorporating quality materials that give it both durability and character. This is the kind of knife that feels just as at home in a pocket today as it would have decades ago, built for those who appreciate straightforward function and honest craftsmanship.
The 3.5-inch spear point blade is made from surgical stainless steel and finished in a clean satin sheen that highlights its precise grind. This blade shape offers excellent control and versatility, with a centered point that handles detail work, light slicing, and general cutting tasks with ease. The plain edge ensures clean, efficient cuts, making it a reliable choice for daily use without unnecessary complication.
Opening is handled by a traditional nail nick, delivering smooth, controlled deployment that stays true to the slipjoint design. The mechanism provides a firm backspring tension, giving the blade a secure feel in use while maintaining the simplicity and reliability that slipjoint knives are known for. It’s a time-tested system that doesn’t rely on modern locking components, yet still performs with confidence when used properly.
The handle is where this knife truly stands out. Crafted from rich brown burlwood, it showcases unique grain patterns that make each piece one of a kind. The natural warmth of the wood is complemented by copper bolsters and pins, which not only reinforce the structure but also develop a distinctive patina over time. As the knife ages, these copper fittings take on character, giving the piece a lived-in look that reflects its use and history.
At 4.5 inches closed, the Bearhead Jack offers a substantial feel without becoming cumbersome. It sits comfortably in the pocket and is configured for right-hand carry, making it easy to access when needed. The overall balance between blade and handle ensures a comfortable grip and dependable control during everyday tasks.
