Purpose Built. Handcrafted. Ready for the Field.

The Jackal embodies everything we appreciate about Blackfly Customs—functional design, quality materials, and craftsmanship that puts performance ahead of unnecessary complexity. Built to be carried, used, and relied upon, the Jackal is a compact fixed blade equally at home in the woods, around camp, or handling everyday cutting tasks.

At the heart of the knife is a 3-inch blade crafted from 52100 carbon steel. Long favored by bladesmiths and serious users alike, 52100 offers an outstanding balance of toughness, edge retention, and ease of maintenance. The acid washed finish gives the blade a rugged appearance while helping conceal the marks that naturally come from real-world use.

The handle features beautifully figured curly oak scales that provide warmth, character, and a unique appearance that only natural materials can offer. No two pieces of wood are exactly alike, making each Jackal a one-of-a-kind expression of Blackfly Customs’ craftsmanship.

With a full tang construction and a thoughtfully contoured handle, the Jackal offers excellent control and comfort whether you’re processing kindling, preparing food at camp, or tackling everyday cutting chores. At just 7 inches overall and weighing only 3.1 ounces, it strikes an ideal balance between capability and carry comfort.

Each Jackal includes a handcrafted leather sheath built specifically for daily carry and field use. What sets Blackfly Customs apart is their process of infusing the leather with wax, creating a sheath that offers increased resistance to moisture, dirt, and everyday wear while maintaining the natural character of the leather. The wax treatment also enhances retention, helping keep the knife securely in place whether it’s riding on your belt, pack, or gear. It’s a thoughtful detail that reflects Blackfly Customs’ focus on building tools meant to be used rather than simply displayed.

At Howling Dog EDC, we’re always drawn to makers who prioritize craftsmanship and purpose-driven design. The Jackal is a perfect example of that philosophy—a knife built not to sit in a display case, but to become a trusted companion wherever your adventures take you.

Premium materials. Timeless craftsmanship. Built to earn its place on your belt.
