I curse the day my homeboy Matt McKenna of Owl Tactical sold me my first custom knife and started a acquisition addiction that has resulted in this inventory list.


Custom – Made by hand, one at a time.
Jake Hoback – A10 Custom Folder – Made by Jake Hoback this Custom A10 folder is a solid built knife. The handle is crafted from blasted titanium with a matching milled tip-up pocket clip. The blade is crafted from S90 and given a satin finish. Stamped into the handle at the pivot area reads “PS23 Hoback”. The frame lock has been given a stainless steel cap to give the knife a smoother lock release. The blade is well centered with a sturdy lockup.
