The Southern Grind Jackal Pup is a compact fixed blade that proves serious performance doesn’t require a large footprint. Designed with precision and intent, this knife delivers dependable cutting power in a lightweight, highly controllable package that’s easy to carry and comfortable to use. Every element of the Jackal Pup reflects Southern Grind’s commitment to practical design and uncompromising craftsmanship.
At the core of the knife is a 2.8-inch drop point blade made from tough 8670M steel. Known for its durability and impact resistance, this steel is well suited for a hard-working fixed blade that may see demanding use. The conventional flat grind enhances slicing efficiency and control, allowing the blade to move cleanly through a wide range of materials. With a blade thickness of 0.13 inches, the Jackal Pup balances strength and precision, offering confidence without unnecessary bulk. The PVD-coated finish adds a layer of corrosion resistance while reducing glare and giving the blade a clean, modern look.
The full tang construction ensures strength from tip to handle, reinforcing the knife’s reliability despite its compact size. The handle is crafted from tan and black solid G-10 and features a 3D-milled design that enhances grip and ergonomics. At 2.95 inches long, the handle is shaped to fit naturally in the hand, providing secure control and comfort during extended use. The textured contours improve traction, even in less-than-ideal conditions, making the knife feel stable and predictable in motion.
With an overall length of 5.75 inches and a weight of just 2.8 ounces, the Jackal Pup is easy to carry without sacrificing capability. Its slim profile and balanced design make it a practical companion for everyday tasks, outdoor use, or as a reliable backup blade. The compact dimensions allow for discreet carry while still delivering the cutting performance expected from a Southern Grind fixed blade.
What sets the Jackal Pup apart is how much confidence it inspires despite its size. The thoughtful blade geometry, durable materials, and precise fit and finish come together to create a knife that feels purposeful and ready for real-world use. It’s built for those who value efficiency, reliability, and clean design in a smaller fixed blade platform.
