The Jack Wolf Timber Jack is a J.W. Kollab design from custom maker Tracy LaRock, translating his ridged, two zone grip and working silhouette into a production slipjoint with modern folder dimensions. Jack Wolf Knives builds it in two trims: the Ultralight Series drops the bolsters entirely for cross-hatched G-10 scales and colored G-10 liners, while the Steel Series brings steel bolsters and dressier scales in Richlite, canvas micarta, and Kirinite. Both wear the same blade and the same action, so the choice comes down to weight, look, and how hard the knife will work.
The 3.4 inch drop point runs hollow ground 154CM at 58-59 HRC with a belt satin finish and 3.1 inches of cutting edge. 154CM is a deliberate choice for this pattern, a steel with decades of service in the custom traditional world, balancing edge retention, toughness, and easy sharpening without super steel fuss. See how 154CM compares across the field in our guide to every major knife steel compared.
Every Timber Jack is a true slipjoint with a single stainless backspring, a long pull, a firm seven out of ten strength, and a proper half stop. At 4.25 inches closed and 7.7 inches open, this is a slipjoint sized like a modern folder, and LaRock's ridged grip gives the fingers two distinct zones to index against when the work gets serious. Titanium Torx hardware and a paracord lanyard finish each build, with liner and lanyard colors matched to the release.
The Timber Jack blends traditional slipjoint manners with a distinctly tactical presence, the rare knife that satisfies the backspring faithful and the modern folder crowd in the same pocket. Like every Jack Wolf release, runs are limited and sold-out variants stay sold out. Find the rest of the family in our Jack Wolf Knives collection.
