Alright folks big month here at the channel. Like not really big news, but a lot of projects to get
through. Ok, I don’t want “get through” to sound like “ugh get though” because that would seem
like I don’t care and I do care I care very much. Making Youtube product videos is very rewarding.
No ones forcing me to do it (trails off laughing) We’re bringing back a quick look here because it's
convenient for me right now- for the Jack Wolves Midnight Jack. The quick look did really well on
one shovel video, and tanked on the others, so it makes sense to start them up again.
Anyway you know Jack Wolf Knives by now. I’ve done a full review of the Sharpshooter Jack, which I
gave that away on the Instagram feed to a lucky person. (Old guy voice) That was a review sample,
you're no philanthropist. No that's exactly how philanthropy works. And since then I’ve done
some traditional overview videos featuring the Laid Back Jack their swayback pattern.
You might have not seen that one or also didn't watch another video about Barlow and boys knives.
That featured the little bro jack and 25 minutes or so of talking. Of course
none of those knives are currently available right now, as the runs have sold out. He'll
make them again at some point. So don’t worry though the runs are coming back.
But for now Jack Wolf is focused on getting out the different patterns, then they’ll go
back and revisit the sold out ones. Looking at the dimensions of the Coffin Jack style here.
That's in reference to the handle shape. Like coffin, dead dudes. Not like coughing.
Like cough cough. The little wolf guy hacking like he has emphysema- little cigarette coming
out of his mouth. I don't know where I'm going with this, other than smoking is cool.
So the Midnight Jack here has a coffin handle pattern, well rather a coffin Barlow as evidenced
by the large bolster area. Now knives with the coffin pattern are out there, they are not
super popular and some of the best examples are the Case Tony Bose collaborations which make
GEC secondary prices look normal. I saw a post recently over on the forums where people were
getting in on the real good deal of maybe $300 at an unnamed retailer. They have to speak in code
of course, because you can't talk about where you buy the knives in the knife thread. Anyway let's
take a look at the blade, now like all of the jack wolf current runs this blade is made from
M390 and features a nice hollow grind. And In what will get the shepherds blood pumping, the blade
here features a very well proportioned and sexy sheepsfoot with a great brushed finish. Instead of
a nail nick we have a long pull. Although, having experienced all the jack wolf knives, I tend to
just grab the blade because it's flared enough to give grip, and they are not super light pulls.
I tend to like to grab the blade anyway, because of my soft jagged vitamin deficient finger nails.
As a personal preference I always like the looks of nicks and pulls over the function of them.
The pull here is about on par with the others, a strong pull where the back spring is flush with
the liner in all three positions. Closed. Then half stop, ten open. I prefer a stronger pull on
my slip joints, you know this by now and jack wolf knives all are strong. The handle here is that
same integral liner bolster made from bead blasted titanium that all of the jack wolf knives have.
Dressed up thin micarta covers. Here we have a very neutral almost brownish green micarta,
like a very faded olive drab. The Midnight Jack is a bit larger than the other Jack Wolves- not much
but a bit bigger, and it has a nice neutral grip. Visually, I like the addition of the fluted
bolsters. And as long as you don't tell anyone I actually just learned what that was called fluted.
Comparisons. First the Midnight Jack. I find I don't like a ton of the hard angled bolsters or
handle ends, but they work pretty well here. I think it'd be pretty cool if they made
some blood acrylic. Yeah I have lot of good ideas. We may not have a blood red acrylic,
but we have saw cut hemlock here on the Blade Forums Barlow. Oh look at the fluted bolsters.
If you think I couldn't have used fluted in a knife related sentence last week,
then you're wrong. I've always liked and known about fluted bolsters. This knife is about the
same size as the Midnight Jack. Did you see GECs gonna make the 2022
forum knife. So that'll be fun to watch. Here's the Midnight next to the Boker Tree Barlow.
I have had some say since that video, that some users have some really strong pulls and that mine
is not normal. Sounds like Boker needs to work on the QC huh? Ok you've seen it next to the
other Jack Wolves, how about the Beer Buster Jr. I bought this off Levon the other day. It's small,
and interesting. More of a sodbuster pattern. Might get around to this video at some point.
Ok let's wrap it up. These are being released to all the standard retailers this Friday the 15th
and as I work on this video on the Sunday the 9th I hope I get my act together and get this
video done in time. And not spend time with Elden Ring. You know if you see this after the
15th I chose video games instead of Youtube. Thanks to Jack Wolf knives for providing this
review production sample. I am giving away lots of my review samples this month over on Instagram
so head over there, for the details. I don't know if I'll give away this one,
but we'll see. I actually like it a whole lot. Maybe I'll give away the little bro jack.
Say Hi to the patrons. They paid for my 4k camera and editing computer,
so these come to you in slightly better video quality then they used to-
but still with the same irritating Voiceovers. So like, subscribe, comment, and thanks for watching.
