Traditional knives and fountain pens have seen a resurgence in recent years, both among collectors and everyday users. At first glance, that resurgence is hard to explain. These tools are slower, more demanding, and less convenient than the modern alternatives designed to replace them. Traditional knives usually require two hands to open, are frequently made from maintenance heavy carbon steel, and often don’t include a locking mechanism. Fountain pens require frequent cleaning, prefer certain kinds of paper, and demand more technique to write well.
Why Choose Traditional Knives and Fountain Pens?
Given all of that, why do I and many others still use, collect, and enjoy them? Because both traditional knives and fountain pens place an emphasis on intentionality that modern tools tend to lack.
Modern vs Traditional
How do Traditional Knives and Fountain Pens Emphasize Intentionality?
All of the extra work these โarchaicโ tools require forces the user to be more present in their use. A modern knife, with its pocket clip, lock, and one hand operation can be pulled out, opened, used, and closed almost without a thought. A traditional knife asks more of you. You have to find it in your pocket, maybe remove it from a slip, use both hands to open it, cut with care so it doesn’t close on you, clean it, and then usually use two hands to close it again.
The same contrast exists with pens. Many modern pens are clipped, clickable, and instantly ready to write, using forgiving ballpoint tips and easily replaceable refills. Fountain pens usually require a cap to be removed, must be held at the correct angle and orientation, often involve a more laborious filling process, and need regular cleaning.
Each step slows the process just enough to pull your attention into it, bringing focus to the act itself in a way not unlike a mindfulness practice. Choosing traditional knives and fountain pens turns simple use into active participation.

Why Take Intentionality Over Practicality?
The truth is that most of us do not actually need a knife or a pen on our person at all times. For many of us, carrying these tools is already a choice driven less by necessity and more by enjoyment. Once that is acknowledged, the question shifts. If we are already choosing not strictly for utility, why not choose tools that invite deeper engagement?
Traditional knives and fountain pens introduce friction into actions that modern tools have worked hard to eliminate. That friction is not efficient, but it is meaningful. It asks us to slow down, to pay attention, and to participate in the act rather than merely “get it out of the way”.
In a world optimized for speed, convenience, and disposability, choosing tools that require care to use and maintain can be a subtle but intentional detour from the mundane. Tools that foster intentionality do not just perform a function, they create a moment. Over time, those moments add texture to daily life, turning routine actions into small rituals instead of forgettable tasks.
Traditional knives and fountain pens remind us that not every action needs to be optimized; some are worth experiencing fully.
Even with modern materials or construction, traditional knives and fountain pens maintain class

Jack Wolf Knives has made a major impact on the knife community since they hit the market in 2022. Their exemplary construction, stellar design, and unique branding have taken the knife enthusiast world by storm. As their motto “Modern Interpretation, Timeless Design” suggests, they started with non locking modern interpretations of classic pocket knife patterns. Since the launch of Jack Wolf Knives they’ve expanded into several different “series” of knives. In this article I’ll tell you what you need to know about all of the Jack Wolf Knives series released so far.
Premium Series
The premium series is Jack Wolf Knives’ flagship line. The knives all include high end materials and hand fit and finished construction. The premium line employs titanium liners and bolsters, as well as S90V super steel for the blades. Within the Premium Series there are a few distinct types of knives offered.
Slipjoint
Jack Wolf Knives started by offering modern takes on classic non locking traditional patterns. Ben Belkin, owner of JWK, has applied his unique twist to many of the most well loved traditional patterns such as: Barlow, Trapper, Boy’s Knife, Sowbelly, Doctor’s Knife, Teardrop, Dogleg, Swayback, and more. These knives are made to a level of fit and finish that, in my opinion, is almost unmatched in today’s slipjoint market.
Premium Series Slipjoints from Jack Wolf Knives
Modern
The premium series also includes some modern knives. Locking blades, one hand opening, and pocket clip carry are attributes that designate these knives as modern. The modern premium knives have, so far, have been larger versions of slipjoint models JWK has offered. The modern models from Jack Wolf Knives have a long pull, allowing for many opening methods (thumb roll, middle finger flick, and the ol’ reliable two finger pinch). They also have a front flipper, for quick and satisfying opening. Speaking of quick opening, the pivots are supplied with ball bearing washers that make them supremely smooth. All of these features come together to make for extremely practical modern knives that retain the classic design styling of the slipjoints.
Modern Knives from the Premium Series
Fixed
The premium series also includes Jack Wolf Knives’ in house fixed blade designs, dubbed “FixEDC” models. These are small every day carry intended fixed blades. Like the modern knives, they take design cues from JWK’s slipjoint patterns. The FixEDC knives come with high quality leather sheaths, including clips for pocket (or belt or in waistband) carry. The FixEDC models keep the same high quality fit and finish of the other premium series knives in a compact but capable package.
FixEDC Knives from the Premium Series
Steel Series
The steel series offers a middle ground of price and materials, without sacrificing build quality. These knives feature steel bolsters and liners and, so far, they have had 14c28n or 154cm steel. These materials are high quality, but not as exotic as the titanium and s90v of the premium series. In my experience, these steels perform more than well enough and can be hard to distinguish from “super steels” in real world use. The steel series retains the same type of detailed fine finishing of the premium series. In my opinion, the steel bolsters also can give a slightly more traditional look (though they still have screw construction). The steel series provides a great place to get Jack Wolf Knives’ superb quality at a lower price point.
Steel Series K9 Jack
Ultralight Series
The ultralight series brings “shadow”, or bolsterless, construction to Jack Wolf Knives. Rather than having steel or titanium liners and bolsters, the ultralight series has G10 liners and full handle length covers. So far, the covers have been synthetic composites like G10 and Micarta. This all comes together to cut down the weight by a good amount. For example, the K9 Jack weighs 3.32 oz in the Steel Series, 2.5 oz in Premium, and just 1.76 oz in Ultralight. Also, at least with its first (and only as of this writing) release, the ultralight series is slightly lower priced than the steel series. The ultralight series is tailored to those who want an unobtrusive slipjoint perfectly suited for carry.
I don’t have a knife from the Ultralight Series, so here’s two somewhat unique JWKs (modified Bionic Jack and unreleased Lil Bro Jack)
Gateway Series
The Gateway Series, though only one knife in as of this writing, took the community by storm. As the name suggests, it offers an entry level price point for those more budget conscious. The first knife in the Gateway Series was a Barlow that came in at $70. The finish on these Gateway Series knives is certainly different than on the other series, with less crisp edges and transitions, but still impressive for the price point. Speaking of value, they have 14c28n steel, which certainly holds its own in my use, and even have exotic handle materials like carbon fiber and abalone. I think the savings come primarily in the finish style, which is more of a machine finish as compared to the hand fitted and finished other series. One important note for traditional knife enthusiasts is that, so far, the Gateway Series is the only slipjoint from JWK that has had pinned (rather than screwed) construction and a shield. The next iteration of the Gateway Series is highly anticipated by me and many other Jack Wolf Knives fans.
Gateway Series Barlow in Abalone
JWKollab Series
The Kollab Series is a place for designs by friends of Jack Wolf Knives that don’t fit into the normal lineup. So far Cerberus Knives and Jakeb Creates have contributed the Tango and Collusion, respectively. The Tango being a smaller more modern one hand opening and locking knife, and the Collusion being a slightly larger fixed blade (than the FixEDC knives). Ben’s designs within the core series are all imbued with his recognizable design language, so the Kollab series bringing in differing styles adds to Jack Wolf Knives’ breadth in meaningful ways. The Kollab series keeps the same high level of quality, but introduces unique design flavors.

USA Made Series
Last but not least, Jack Wolf Knives offers some knives made in the USA. So far these have been fixed blades; first the Prickly Pear designed by Taylor Cortes and made by Misfits Machining and second the Vampire Hunter made by L.T. Wright. Both came with USA-made leather sheaths from Taylored by Cortes. The USA made series has come in smaller batches, but I believe Ben is working to make more available. For some knife enthusiasts the country of manufacture is a huge factor, so the USA Made Series offers a good option for those who prefer domestic production.

Conclusion & Thanks
Jack Wolf Knives offers an incredible array of knives across their different series. From fixed blades to modern folders, Jack Wolf Knives now has something for nearly every type of knife enthusiast. There are also options at a wide range of price brackets, from under $100 to over $300. All of the knives are backed by one of the best in the business, Benjamin Belkin. There are numerous stories online of him going above and beyond to ensure the owners of Jack Wolf Knives have a good experience with the knives and the brand. He has helped to continue the resurgence of traditional slipjoint patterns. Ben has also been a long time friend and supporter of me and Knife Thoughts, and I am always glad to help get the word out about Jack Wolf Knives.
Where to Buy Jack Wolf Knives
Jack Wolf Knives are typically sold through their dealers. You can find their dealer list at this link. Some knives, like the USA made series, and accessories have also been sold direct from JackWolfKnives.com. I suggest buying your JWK knives from Austin at Traditional Pocket Knives (affiliate link). I also suggest joining the Facebook group, Jack Wolf Knives Worldwide. You can interact with other Jack Wolf Knives fans there, and there’s also a weekly BST (Buy/Sell/Trade) where you can find past releases offered that you likely won’t find at dealers. I hope you find the Jack Wolf Knife you’re looking for, and don’t forget to go out and do good!

With the Rendezvous about a week in the rearview mirror, I want to give my thoughts on my experience. Honestly, I was in a bit of a weird place leading up to the event as to my expectations. I just didn’t have the time or desire to prepare as much as I would have liked… I actually decided what knives I was bringing to sell at ~12:15 am the day of. Despite this lack of enthusiasm, it turned out to be another great year in several ways.
TL;DR? Video Recap
The People
I ended up setting up a little table display for Knife Thoughts and the Barlow Bearcat Club. Thanks to GEC for letting me use the table, as I forgot to bring my own. I got to see and talk with lots of old friends, fellow Bearcats, and other enthusiasts. It’s just nice to get to share your passion with others who understand it, and the Rendezvous is a great place to do just that for people like me who love traditional knives. There was a solid number of Barlow Bearcat Club members there, and we had a good meeting after the factory store closed down, but unfortunately I forgot to get a picture. It’s also always great to get to talk with Bill, William, Joan Mae, and everyone at GEC who actually bring the knives to reality and to gain insight into their process. I am generally a heavily introverted person, but I felt particularly comfortable and connected this year.
The Knives
I got to Titusville earlier than expected, around 2:30 am on Friday, because I couldn’t sleep and decided to just head up… and I was still 72nd in line. People started arriving on Sunday again, with something like 50 there by Tuesday night or Wednesday morning. It looked like a full on encampment. I thought, like I did last year, that there was no chance I’d get a Rendezvous Special. To my surprise, I was able to get one on my first trip through the store. Why? Many people, especially the hardcore collectors, go for SFAs (special factory assembly knives) first, as they are typically more rare and unique. I have been building a Rendezvous Special collection for over 10 years, so if I can get one I do, basically no matter what it is. This year GEC did three(!) different versions, and you were only able to purchase one per person in the store. They were all #86 Boomtown Barlows in American elk and stainless steel, but in all three blade shapes that the normal run had: clip point, spear point, and sheep foot. For me, this is a near ideal knife. The #86 Barlow is my favorite pattern, I prefer single blade, and I prefer stainless. I also don’t have any elk handled knives and have been wanting one. They had an acorn shield and I normally don’t prefer shields on Barlows, but they stamped it 19 for the year and honestly I don’t mind it. I mentioned that the Rendezvous Special was also an #86 Barlow last year to Bill and William, and both of them responded something like “oh really?” so that was pretty funny to know they don’t necessarily consider what last year’s was when deciding. It could be an #86 Barlow in a different configuration every year and I’d be happy for a long time. My other goal was to get a birth knife for my upcoming son, but I didn’t immediately see any other Barlows and my attention was caught by a “Special Factory Experiment” knife. It was a single blade carbon spear point #86 but it had rough cut pine handles, exposed pivot pins, hammered spring pins, and a new blade finish. William wouldn’t confirm what the finish is beyond saying he did it, but I would call it an acid stonewash. All of that comes together to make it look very much like the “Jess Crouch” and “Chris Wolfe” knives that inspired the aesthetic used on Northwoods Knives. So I got one of them, and I really like it. Then I realized there were single blade #77 Barlows, but knew they’d be all gone by the time I got a second trip through the store. Thankfully, long time Rendezvous attendee Jesse was kind enough to sell me one he got for cost… even before he knew I intended it as a birth gift. I got the tube signed by Bill, William, and Joan Mae (as I did for my other son’s birth gift Barlow I got at the 2022 Rendezvous), and it’s just what I was hoping to get. I did end up getting a second trip through the store, but just bought a shirt and a couple leather slips. I actually was really happy with this decision, as I’ve been trying to avoid buying knives unless I really want them and it felt good to make a decision in line with my values. I was also given a Spyderco Delica, and have been carrying and using and enjoying it ever since. So while the relationships are the real value of the Rendezvous, I came away thoroughly thrilled with my haul.
The Legacy
Another thing that made this year special was bringing my son to the picnic. My son has come with me to the GEC factory several times, and it’s become a fun little adventure we go on together. It would be too much for him to be there all day Friday, but he was all for going to the picnic. I did a lot more chasing and wrangling than talking and showing off knives, but I was happy for that. I also really enjoyed getting to give any kid who came up to my table on Friday a knife. It’s great to get to share the hobby with younger people, and it’s nice to be able to downsize my collection in a way that spreads some joy.
The Details
If you have any questions about the Rendezvous, a great place to start is with my FAQ article below. You can also reach out via my contact page with any questions and I’ll do my best to answer. Last but certainly not least, I want to give a massive thank you to everyone at Great Eastern Cutlery for making it all possible and hosting such a great event. I’m already looking forward to next year… the 20th Anniversary!

If you search for bolt action pens, Tactile Turn will inevitably be one of the most discussed and recommended brands you find. They are made in the USA, have a great reputation for quality, and offer their unique namesake machined finish. However, when I tried to decide which model to choose, I found that comparison reviews were surprisingly scarceโฆ so I’ve written this article (plus long form review and short comparison videos) to provide just that; a thorough review and comparison of Tactile Turn’s bolt action pens. Read on to learn about the different lengths, widths, and materials Tactile Turn offers.
In this Tactile Turn Bolt Action Pen Comparison Review
TL;DR? Short Tactile Turn Bolt Action Pen Comparison Video
Lengths: Standard, Short, & Mini
Tactile Turn’s bolt action pens come in three lengths: Standard, Short, and Mini. The two main differences between the lengths are the pen refills they take and… the length.
Portability
The Standard, Short, and Mini are 5.6″, 5.1″, and 4.4″ respectively. I think all three lengths have their place. The Standard is the most similar in length to your typical pens like a Bic Round Stic or Cristal, but is a little long for pocket carry in my opinion. In my carry it sometimes jabbed into my leg when bending over or sitting. The Mini is the best for carrying in an EDC pouch and just taking up the least space, but might feel a bit short in the hand when writing if you have wide hands like me. The Short feels portable enough, while still offering enough purchase for comfortable writing.
Refill Compatibility
The Standard takes Pilot G2 sized refills, the Short takes Parker sized refills, and the Mini takes Pilot G2 Mini refills. You can refer to Tactile Turn’s refill guide HERE, though it’s not exhaustive (for example, the Standard also can use UniBall One refills, which are very nice). There are a good number of G2 sized refills out there that fit in the standard, and they are easy to find in places like Walmart and Target. The Parker size of the Short allows for a veritable plethora of compatible refills, though they might not be as easy to find in brick and mortar stores. On the other hand, the Mini seems to ONLY take Pilot G2 Mini refills. Technically, theyโre โrefills,โ but you canโt seem to buy them on their own. You have to purchase full pens and discard the bodies (it’s not as sinister as it sounds, but I have to admit I don’t love the idea of wasting so much plastic). Honestly, you’re going to be able to find a refill you like in any of these sizes. There are plenty of options for the Standard and Short to find something that fits your writing style. The G2 Minis write nicely just like the full sized G2 , although I did have one leak (from carrying in cold temperatures, I am guessing). One big positive of the Short length for me is that it can take Fisher pressurized refills, using the adapter that they come with when purchased as refills. I have used Fisher Space Pens extensively, and like the versatility of their ink. So, while they all offer perfectly usable options when it comes to refills, I prefer the short length here also.
Widths: Normal & Slim
Tactile Turn actually offers three widths, as they also make a thick body, but I only have the normal and slim to compare currently. Aside from the obvious difference in thickness, the slim and normal widths come with different clips.
Ergonomics
The normal width is similar to a Sharpie, whereas the slim is closer to a standard pen or pencil (such as a Bic Cristal). I think many prefer the normal thickness, considering it easier to write with, and I notice a general preference for thicker barrels among pen enthusiasts. That said, the slim was created in response to “the biggest request we’ve gotten over the past few years”. I think I prefer the ergonomics of the slim for my personal writing grip, though I don’t have a problem with the normal width. The slim also fits better in an EDC pouch, if that’s your preferred carry method.
Clip; Bent vs Machined
The normal width comes with a classic bent clip, while the slim has a machined clip. The bent clip attaches with a ring that is screwed into the handle between the cap and the barrel, whereas the machined clip screws into the side of the barrel with Torx screws. Machined clips are a big thing in the knife world, but they’re not a make or break point for me. I do appreciate the extra work that goes into the machined clip, but I like the look of both. The bent clip seems to be easier to put into and pull out of the pocket, while still offering plenty retention. Overall, they’re both good clips; if I had to choose I would probably go with the bent, but it’s not something that I think needs to factor greatly into the choice between a normal or slim width pen.
Materials: Titanium, Bronze, & Copper
Tactile Turn offers pens in many different materials. From plain stainless steel to exotic zirconium, there’s sure to be something that catches your eye. I will be comparing three of their typical offerings: titanium, bronze, and copper. The main differences between these three materials are the hardness, weight, and oxidation potential.
Durability
Titanium is generally the hardest, and therefore the least likely to show scratches and dents, at a Brinell Hardness of around 300. (note: all these hardnesses depend on the specific alloy used, which I don’t think Tactile Turn publishes) Bronze is still relatively resistant at 75-220 BH, and I didn’t see any evidence of wear (aside from patina) in a few months of use. Copper is significantly softer, at around 35-90 BH. I noticed this softness clearly. My copper Mini developed some dings and scratches in the machining pretty quickly from carrying it next to other things. Also, the clip developed some play due to the copper deforming on either side of it from carrying it in my pocket. I was able to fix this with a simple application of super glue, but Will at Tactile Turn said they’re happy to make it right the few times this happens (I get the feeling they’re happy to make sure their customer is happy). They also offer a Lifetime Warranty on all their pens.
Weight
Titanium is the lightest of the three, at about half the density of both copper and bronze. I will say, though my research indicates copper and bronze have a very similar density (and therefore weight), the copper somehow feels heavier. The weight probably comes down to personal preference, as I doubt any of these pens will be heavy enough to make much difference on a daily basis. Maybe you’ll prefer the titanium if you’re on an ultralight multi day backwoods hike, or the copper if you like some heft. For me, I enjoy both and it just depends if you value lightness or heft.
Patina
Finally, the subject of patina. Basically, patina is the change that comes from aging. In the case of copper and bronze, it is oxidation. Both copper and bronze begin their patina by losing luster and taking on a darker tone. After enough time and exposure, copper will turn a shade of green and bronze a shade of brown or black. Many EDC enthusiasts, especially traditional knife connoisseurs, love patina for the way it shows age and wear. Honestly, I can take it or leave it whether on knives or pens. I think it can look good sometimes, and sometimes I’d rather the tool remain the way it was when I got it.
/
All of Tactile Turn’s bolt action pens, no matter the material, come with their namesake machine finish. The finish is raised circles superbly applied across the whole pen body. The finish is easy to feel but somewhat difficult to see in pictures. Also, it’s so well machined that the seam between the body and tip disappears into the finish when they’re screwed together. All this immediately gives an impression of class and attention to detail that is wholly welcome in a luxury pen.
Final Thoughts
Pens are one of man’s most basic tools. To be able to write, to store information through language, is one of the main things that allows us humans to achieve amazing feats; from building societies to designing the computer I’m writing this on. So it makes sense that every day carry enthusiasts like myself prefer to have a durable, stylish, and practical pen as part of their tool set. Will at Tactile Turn understands that desire.
Tactile Turn pens are some of the most highly regarded on the market, and for good reason as they offer just those characteristics. Whichever combination of length, width, and material you go with you’re sure to get a quality writing instrument backed by a company that’s proud of their product. Have a favorite Tactile Turn configuration, or questions about bolt action pens? Send me a message or connect on Instagram or YouTube!
Finally, I want to extend my appreciation to Will Hodges. This comparison was made possible in large part by his generosity in providing the Short Bronze and Mini Copper.

If you’re reading this, you’ve probably heard the term EDC… but what exactly does it mean? Well, to put it succinctly, it stands for Every Day Carry. EDC refers to the tools you carry on your person. EDC is a practice of being prepared for whatever life throws at you. However, if you dig in a little deeper you might find that there’s no universal agreement as to what EDC encompasses.
Every (Literally) Day Carry Purists
The most hardcore of gear enthusiasts will insist that it’s not EDC unless you carry it literally every day. You’ll find this sentiment in the comments of the EDC subreddit, r/EDC, of any post with tools that don’t show wear. While it’s true this is probably the original expression of EDC, and probably still the most common among the population overall, most enthusiasts vary their carry at least occasionally.
Two Mainstays (& gifts from my wife): Spyderco Ouroboros & Roadie
Everyday Carry Enthusiasts
Those who are enthusiastic enough about their carry to post online typically change their tools, making it more “everyday” carry than “EVERY” day carry. Some might change their carry randomly, some might rotate through a regular stall of choices, and most probably lie somewhere in between those two ends of the spectrum. This approach to EDC makes for a more engaging experience, though it might not allow you to get the most out of each piece of gear and can lead to excessive consumerism.

(Almost) Every Day Carry Dabblers
Then there are those who don’t carry every day, let alone the same things every day, but still enjoy good tools. People who want to have a good knife for camping, or a flashlight to keep in their car for emergencies, or a good pen for journalling at home, and such. They might not carry their tools every day or everywhere, but they appreciate having them and discussing them. At least in my approximation, this is as valid an approach as the others.
Some great gear I carry, but not every day: Tactile Turn Standard Slim Bolt Action Titanium, NGMCo Middle Man Slick Not Thirsty Block Logo, Field Notes Vintage Edition
Essentially, EDC is about the appreciation, carry, and use of personal preparedness gear. You can make it their own, not only through the tools you carry but also how you carry them. No matter your job, lifestyle, or any other circumstances there’s always a way you can make Every Day Carry a part of your life. So, what is EDC to you?
