Story:

Blackjack's Motto is ' No Gimmicks….Just Performance' and I have to say that I agree that this knife model 125 is true to their motto. Somehow the Blackjack name seems too slick for a knife this traditional and true to time-tested hunting design. I admit to be, just a bit, of a knife freak and have many so-called tactical knifes in my gun safe, but when I went looking for a traditional hunting knife that was capable of tackling game chores from the smallest to the largest North American game, this knife really stood out and fit the bill.

One of the classic design features of this knife is the generous and rounded choil which allows you to move your first finger and thumb forward on the knife and do detailed cutting and skinning chores. While the knife is not too large (even though Blackjack refers to it as a 'heavy hunter') to be functional, it has a stout .215 blade thickness making it capable of serious work in the field.

Overall, I love the style, design, and functionality of this knife. As an added bonus this knife comes razor sharp and includes one of the best leather knife sheaths by Sharpshooter Sheath Systems that I have owned.

Change the company name to something more traditional to match their products? Just kidding!

Where Are Blackjack Knives Made

Pirelli p slot split rims for sale near me. Blackjack Knives was founded in 1987 in Los Angeles, California, by Mike Stewart and his wife Lesley. Mike wanted to import and sell Chris Reeve's range of South African fixed blade knives as well as produce their own knives.

Blackjack Knives History

In 1987, Stewart designed and released Blackjack's first knife called 'Mamba'. Unfortunately, the company went bankrupt the same year because of poor management. However, Blackjack managed to recover later and moved their production to Seki City, Japan, where Mike's knives were produced by the Kencrest Corporation.

Although the knives were of superior quality, Blackjack had some issues with the Japanese producers and in 1991 the company moved its production back to the United States and set facilities in Effingham, Illinois.

After Ken Warner sold that enterprise, the Blackjack name was acquired by knife wholesale distributor Blue Ridge Knives. The knives are currently made in Michigan by Bark River, coincidentally owned and operated by the original founder of Blackjack Knives.
