Jack Wolf Knives - The Wolf Den

I’m curious about the thickness of the liners. They feel disproportionately thick, while the Micarta seems almost paper thin at the edges. Just looks a bit odd to me.

I thought the same thing.

The spring and blade stock seem rather thick, as well.

there are a few reasons for this: 1) meat for thread engagement - these are not pinned, so in order for the screws beneath the covers that secure the spring to have adequate thread engagement the liners are thicker. Plus, the screws are counter sunk so the shoulder of the screw is inside the liner as well. 2) less chance to warp - Ti likes to twist like a potato chip when you mill it real thin, this aids against that. 3) Added Weight - These knives are light weight and it helps with the balance to have the thicker liners.

I wasnt sure how it was going to look but I am pleased with it, it’s different but cool IMO but surely not everyone’s cup of tea.

Due to the hollow grind, to me they feel nice and thin behind the edge. I will put a Mitotoyo digital caliper on it on Monday and see if I can get a consistent reading. I dont have a ball micrometer, that would be a better tool but I will see what I come up with.

Sorry friend, I am not so sure what you are asking me or trying to accomplish? Please clarify and I will do what I can to assist.

Understood, I do not plan on putting the country of origin on the knife itself, unless I am required to by law (which I am not aware of that requirement?). All I want on the knives are the Jack Wolf Knives etch (which I am thinking about tweaking some) and the steel type on the reverse. I really want it to be clean and as much like a custom made slip joint as possible. Most customs just have a makers mark and that is all.

You might want to rethink that......and get some legal advice from the proper authorities on this subject....Since 1930 knives among other things have been required to be marked as to country of origin. You wouldn't want your entire shipment seized by US Customs at the port of entry because they aren't marked accordingly....
https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2000/01/26/00-1682/country-of-origin-marking :
Section 304 of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (19 U.S.C. 1304), provides that, unless excepted, every article of foreign origin imported into the U.S. shall be marked in a conspicuous place as legibly, indelibly, and permanently as the nature of the article (or container) will permit, in such a manner as to indicate to the ultimate purchaser in the U.S. the English name of the country of origin of the article.

Sorry for the confusion....so if you order your knives from the factory....no doubt there is a minimum number in a run ....although i understand the contractual obligation not to reveal.....lets talk hypothetically....but i will pm you later so as not to infringe bf regulations...🤑✌😇

I think he can also just have a sticker on the blade that says where it is made. Once it gets to the consumer they can remove. :) So that could be a work a round.
Someone can correct me if I’m wrong. :)

Thank you for sharing, and allow me to clarify. They will be properly marked for importation sake on the individual boxes the knives come in (ie the container as referenced above). I am having them repackaged to my specifications locally, and was planning not to resticker them in the process. But if the law required that it be noted, I will comply. I will consult my attorney about it.

and don't forget the Proposition 65 Warning on any packaging sent to California.

Sounded snarky didn't it. Didn't mean it that way - just a heads up. The big knife retailer under the blue roof in Tennessee has stopped sending their catalogs to California because of Proposition 65. The Attorney General here in CA has really dinged some companies because of it and levied fines to boot. It's BS I know but it is what it is.

No Sir, not snarky in the least bit and hope I didn't come off as unappreciative. I am moving quick this morning; perhaps a little too quick. I did note your point and I will look into it. I know selling goods in California can be wrought with pitfalls, but man it sure is a huge market so compliance has to be explored and considered. BS though, for a fact!
