Introducing the Elk River Easy Open Jack: Two Looks, One Great Knife
By
Hey there, knife lovers! We’re thrilled to introduce the Elk River Easy Open Jack, available in two styles: the Blue Denim Micarta version and the Rosewood version. Both models share the same proven design— just pick the handle that fits your vibe.
What Makes This Knife Special?
This single-blade lambsfoot jack pattern pays homage to a classic I-X-L design, reimagined by Andy Armstrong to feel modern, yet timeless. It features:
A 2.75-inch D2 steel lambsfoot blade with a brushed satin finish, half-stop, and heavy swedging for a sleek yet sturdy look.
A smooth, no nail-nick or pull blade profile—thanks to the clever easy-open slot, you simply pinch and pull to deploy the blade (no catches or external pulls needed).
