For Sale: LNIB, I mean the Knife is in brand new "MINT" condition, except a small smudge of the anodizing on pocket clip which i still don't know how it happened. You can see the mark in pictures, its hardly visible and thats it.
Jake Hoback Knives, Kwaiback. The Kwaiback is a solid (Mid-tech) version of Jake's full titanium Custom Kwaiback with the same execution & quality you would expect from Mr. Hoback.
The full front scale is milled and contoured into a beautiful (Front) scale of premium Carbon Fiber (No voids at all), along with a small matching inlay of carbon fiber that is seamlessly fitted into the blue anodized (all titanium) lock-side scale (you actually can buy different scale materials and inserts to customize the knife exactly how you like it). There is a stainless steel (replaceable) Lock-bar insert along with Jake's patented (HRD) Hoback Rolling Detent, in which you can actually set your detent strength however one prefers, just with a (left or right) turn of an allen screw. There is also a matching (anodized blue) titanium spring clip. The Tanto ground blade deploys per flipper tab that also acts as a guard to protect your hand from slipping onto the blade when using this light but robust knife. The action is super smooth on caged thrust bearings along with stainless steel bearing races to protect the CF & Titanium scales. Along with being able to set your own detent strength, you can tune the action anyway you would like. I have left the detent as it was from BladeOps.
Again, (Please Note: there is a very small smudge on the pocket clip near the bottom of the pocket clip's fastening screw that the blue anodization appears had smudged off (not even sure when this happened). It's actually very hard to see it and can be easily fixed by Jake's shop if it bothers the purchaser of the knife that much. Otherwise the knife is in "MINT" condition). I've literally carried it once around the house, Never cut anything with the blade, just flipped it like any normal knife guy would do and thats about it. Never dissassembled, Never adjusted (HRD), Never adjusted pivot..Just has been in box ever since then.
The Over all length: 9"; Closed: 5.3"; Blade length 3.75" and made of CPM-Cru-Wear; Blade thickness: 0.1875"; Blade Finish: Sandblast Stonewash; The knife weighs in at a surprisingly 4.6oz.
The Kwaiback comes with it's own Wooden (engraved) box, COA, Allen keys and I believe an extra set of steel bearing races. Jake states you can go to any hardware store to find screws for this thing & promotes disassembly & maintenance. (I have never disassembled)
He also sells aftermarket scales, lock-side insert materials & custom hardware.
Im only selling this for another knife purchase. This is a work knife, able to handle heavy tasks and of course self protection. I love the Kwaiback style and I would imagine i will have to buy another one at a later date.
