    Man that Gunslinger is really nice. You’re right, it does have a very classic/old school knife look to it, but also has a lot of modern fidgety type mechanics to it as well. That gives it this really unique hybrid style, which I’m really digging. I have to have one of those.

    Ive got 2 gunslingers.. v1 in fat carbon... v2 in checkered ti... LOVE them... there is nothing like em... the thin hollow grind gives a unoque TING when you open... the Checkered ti is alot more solid so it doesnt make that sound... I dont own any slip joints.. But Id love to experience a Jack Wolf slippy... Great video.... its cool to hear the story of how it all happened... i think I even remember seeing your first Jack wolf slip joint video...

    Cool video - I enjoy my Jack Wolf Knives (I have 7 including the ironwood Gunslinger). I agree - the quality is there but I try to pick up less than retail - whether from eBay, from 20% off sale at retailers, there was nice 40% off seconds sale at TSA knives where I picked up a reverse tux titanium Sharpshooter. These are great knives and I’ll continue to buy more, but I probably won’t buy during a model release unless a model and scales combination really sings to me.

    Really wanted the Gold dark matter or the Wood gunslinger... but they sold out so fast... so next was checkered ti... Does the Wood one TING? Im imagining itd be a bit heavier and slightly more solid that fat carbon... but no where near as solid as checkered ti which eliminates the TING sound... Its sounds obvious but something I didnt consider...

    I sold my big bro jack in a momentary lapse of judgement and regret it. I’ve been considering buying a couple more in a couple of weeks. Maybe matching big and little bro jacks. After buying a holt haptic this week, I need to wait a short time lol. But holt blade works is the pinnacle of flipping action imo. There’s nothing like it. I personally get like they dump on Koenig action.

    I have 3. Love them all but i think the jigged low drag jack is my favorite. They're definitely overpriced but people are buying them so why not. I personally think reate is the oem. I have a superlative comanche which is reate made and it's finished exactly the same. Titanium finish, grind lines, back spacer, etc. The comanche is really big and has more details like a shield and they charge $275.

    Hi Kevin, It's funny you how you were told these cost more because of the packaging etc. As i have seen an interview with Ben, stating that the packaging is insignificant to the overall price. Funny that.
    I love my Jack Wolf, but they are definitely overpriced,in my opinion and the secondary value is way lower.
    Thanks David

    • @BenBelkin
      @BenBelkin 2 месяца назад +1

      David, first off thank you very much for the support and I am glad you love your knife. You will have to tell me where I said the packaging is insignificant, as I will have to review exactly what I said. I will go on the record right now and say the packaging cost is definitely a significant factor in the base cost of the knife and thus the retail cost of the knife. For example, I sell that same slip on my website for $20 and the cloths for $10. That is a $30 value right there. Above and beyond that, the tubes are not cheap, the art is definitely not cheap, all the other little extras contribute, and then there is a labor component to assemble and case pack everything. Not to mention all the time it takes my team to execute everything. I would argue they are priced correctly given the base cost, my reasonable profit and the dealer distribution expense. Nobody can work for free, so there has to be a profit margin large enough to run a business successfully. Beyond that I am not gouging, I am charging what I have to charge to make things work and make it worth everyone's time, including my employees and all my vendors. This is a matter of fact, the dealers make more dollars per knife then I do!! As far as the secondary value, well unfortunately that is the case for a lot of brands right now. But a lot of good deals to be had on the secondary if a guy is willing to vet the sellers. Thanks for reading!

      Hi Ben, I need to find the exact comments you made.
      But I'm pretty confident that on a podcast live on Thursdays, you did say that reducing the packaging, etc, would make no difference to the overall price.
      If I'm incorrect, i apologise and will remove my comments.
      Thanks David.

There is no way I could remove all the packaging and not have it affect the price. I mean I could throw it in a fifty cent box and still charge 300 but I wouldn't do that. It would definitely bring the price down,.
