I think you'd like it...
I let mine go a couple of years ago, then got the chance to get the one above just recently, and cheap!
I sold my ZT Satin Jack for a bunch of money, and decided this one was just as good (a little better handle but a little less corrosion resistance = a wash.) About a 3-4 hundred dollar price difference makes the DJ the winner and keeper
Looking to skin a whitetail with it in the next week or so :thumbup:

Taking another opportunity to thank you again Eli !!! :thumbup:
Old pics, but what I have on file for now (stripped, but not satin):
I agree with Eli. I think the Desert Jack is a WAY better value than the VERY highly sought after Satin Jack.
INFI is still the king, but consider application. INFI makes for a better pry-bar with great edge qualities. SR-101 (IMO) has about equal edge qualities and while not as tough as INFI is VERY tough. As Eli said, for a knife like this, the only real compromise is corrosion resistance. SR-101 is more prone to rust and takes some more maintenance. But, if you "know" it requires a little bit of maintenance, then keep it oiled or waxed and be good with it.
I think the Desert Jack has a nicer shape than the Satin Jack, plus the Desert Jack has a functional choil and no Talon Hole - which I consider "Better" on smaller knives - including the Deset Jack.

....... plus, I think the temper line does something for me....
