Jack Wolf Knives founder, owner and creator Ben Belkin joins Bob "The Knife Junkie" DeMarco on episode 308 of The Knife Junkie Podcast. Find show notes and links for this episode at theknifejunkie.com/308.

Ben has been collecting knives (traditional folders and others) since childhood and got his first knife from his grandfather, after whom he’d later name his knife company, Jack Wolf Knives. 

Belkin showed off prototypes of the Jack Wolf Knives starting lineup at Blade Show 2021, less than a year later, he officially launches the wide sale of his knives. The first Jack Wolf Knife to hit the market is the Sharpshooter Gunstock Jack on April 15, 2022.

Each Jack Wolf knife comes in elaborate packaging — Ben teamed up with an acclaimed comic book artist to create characters around each knife.

Belkin's goal is to provide knife collectors with heirloom quality knives made from modern materials in timeless styles. "I want you to enjoy your knife as a piece of functional art." His design philosophy is not to reinvent the wheel, rather deliver an awesome and enhanced wheel.
