Hoback Enoch Has Arrived - Pics Added

[P.C.E.]

You’re in luck. They’ve got another OD green. $60.00 off on that knife is a no-brainer.

What vendor?

A thick flat grind like that on such a small blade will not work (for me).
Maybe it might work with a deep hollow grind but it misses some hight.
The handle does not provide much to hold on to, at least for my hands.
Overall not a great knife from a user standpoint in my book.

The Enoch arrived a bit ago so I’ve only had about an hour with it. Rocket deployment, fit & finish are superb, blade centering is perfect, nice stonewashing, and feels great in hand. Shaves right out of the box. Not much not to like for the price for sure.

Hobacks are a bit of an odd one. I would say they are expensive in comparison to similar knives but there isn't alot of similar knives. They are different than the other big name US companies like CRK, Hinderer, Spartan.

They are costly and resale sucks but I absolutely love mine. I've got a Husky, Sumo, and Paraclete. Quality wise they are fantastic.

Agreed on all counts. My initial want was a version of the Radford, but I couldn't decide and compared to other blades of similar size / materials they always seemed kind of higher priced. I looked as the Sliver (expensive) and Enoch as well. Had an opportunity to trade for the Kwaiback so I took it, paid about the same retail price in the trade, which is also expensive compared to others options, again at similar size / materials. I looked at Hoback knives long enough to try it out and compared to other knives I had, to me it was the most unique and I still own it. The reground blade did a lot for me too.

I think both of the above is what drew me to them. I had eyeballed the Enoch for awhile until I found a new one for a stupid price and I jumped. It’s hard to beat its specs for a $195.00 USA made blade.

Most all know that Jake Hoback is a devout man of faith, and all of his blades reflect this. Most are marked PS:23 (Psalm 23), but the Enoch is marked JL 3:10 (Joel 3:10).

“Beat your plowshares into swords, and your pruninghooks into spears: let the weak say, I am strong.”
