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:

Good luck with the whitetail!

I wonder if the custom shop would make me one in INFI?

Heres mine, I love this knife!

Hey Xaman, I have been skinning deer with my Hairy Carry and AD so far this year, let me know how that Jack works for ya, I want to use mine as well.

I let mine go a couple of years ago..........

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....

If I had to pick between the Desert Jack and the Satin Jack for a user I would probably have to pick the Desert Jack. You get a lot of blade for the weight and it feels great in the hand. Those old school finger-nub handles were the bomb.
