5/23/2026 - Jake Cook: WJC Knife & Tool

Jake Cook is a well-established maker with a strong reputation for quality builds and thoughtful material choices. He has a talent for using handle materials to express his style in each piece.

This week we are featuring one of his recurve fighters with OD Green GripX™ scales. The color is understated yet classic, pairing beautifully with the blade while providing the aggressive traction GripX™ is known for.

OD Green GripX™ remains a favorite for makers who want performance without needing to shout. Easy to work, easy to finish, and dependable in the hand.
