The Jack Wolf Diamondback Jack is the trapper pattern grown up and locked down. Jack Wolf Knives took the wharncliffe geometry that made its Venom Jack slipjoint a favorite and scaled it into a larger, more robust bolster lock front flipper, keeping the traditional trapper silhouette while giving it modern deployment and a lock. The clever detail collectors point to first: the fuller groove milled into the blade doubles as a nail nick, so the Diamondback opens by flipper, by fuller, or with a satisfying reverse flick on its ceramic bearings.
The 3.35 inch wharncliffe runs Crucible CPM S90V at 60-61 HRC with a hollow grind and 2.92 inches of dead straight cutting edge, the geometry that makes wharncliffes surgical on cardboard, cordage, and detail cuts where a belly just gets in the way. Finishes rotate by release across belt satin, stonewash, hand satin, and DLC. Our guide to every major knife steel compared explains why S90V holds an edge as long as it does.
Fluted integral 6AL/4V titanium bolsters flow into the scale overlays, with a full titanium backspacer and a tip up pocket clip finishing the package at just over four inches closed and around three ounces. The frame lock seats in the bolster itself, Jack Wolf's signature locking architecture. See how bolster locks compare to the wider field in our knife lock types explained guide.
Scale materials rotate by run through linen micarta, Fat Carbon, Kirinite, and anodized titanium, each release limited and gone for good once sold through. For anyone who loves trapper proportions but wants a lock, bearings, and a super steel edge, the Diamondback Jack is the brand's definitive answer.
