Jake Hoback Knives (JHK) Knives (28)

Paraclete

The JHK Paraclete is a knife that was designed by Jake Hoback and is currently produced by his company, Jake Hoback Knives. The Paraclete is a folder with a 3.5 inch blade made from S35VN stainless steel. The blade has a stonewash finish and a flipper opener. The handle is made from titanium with a bead blasted finish and has a frame lock mechanism. There is also a lanyard hole and a pocket clip for carrying. The overall length of the knife is 8.5 inches and it weighs 4 ounces. The JHK Paraclete was designed as an all-purpose EDC (every day carry) knife that would be suitable for both general use and self-defense. The blade is made from S35VN stainless steel, which is known for its durability and edge retention. The stonewash finish helps to hide scratches and wear over time. The flipper opener allows for quick and easy deployment of the blade, while the frame lock provides secure locking when in use. The titanium handle keeps the weight down while still providing strength and rigidity. The lanyard hole and pocket clip provide convenient carrying options, making the Paraclete an ideal knife for everyday carry.

Karamback

The JHK Karamback is a knife designed by Jake Hoback and manufactured by his company, Jake Hoback Knives. The knife is made from a single piece of stainless steel, with a full-tang construction. The blade is 3.5 inches long and 0.156 inches thick. The handle is 4.5 inches long and 0.625 inches thick. The overall length of the knife is 8 inches. The weight of the knife is 5 ounces. The blade of the JHK Karamback has a double-edged, spear point design. It is sharpened on both sides, with a false edge on the top of the blade near the tip. The blade has a stonewash finish, which gives it a matte appearance and helps to hide scratches and fingerprints. There are jimping (textured grooves) on the spine of the blade near the handle, which provide extra grip for your thumb when making precision cuts. The handle of the JHK Karamback is made from two pieces of stainless steel that are welded together. There is a hole in the center of the handle that allows you to attach a lanyard (not included). The handles have been contoured for a comfortable grip and they have been textured to provide extra traction when your hands are wet or sweaty. There is also a finger guard near the base of the blade to protect your fingers from getting cut while you're using the knife. The JHK Karamback comes with a black Kydex sheath that can be worn on your belt (up to 2 inch wide belts). The sheath has a belt loop and it also comes with a detachable clip that can be used to attach the sheath to your pants pocket or backpack strap.
