[Duncans ProForge] Union Jackal, Carbon Prototype

Description:

The Union Jackal UK Carry Friendly Pocket Knife by ProForge—a masterpiece that blends timeless tradition with cutting-edge innovation. Crafted for the modern adventurer and designed by the visionary Mr. Cromwell, the Jackal excels in all aspects; it’s your ultimate everyday companion, meticulously engineered to perfection and fully legal to carry across the UK.

At its heart lies a Clip Point Blade forged from premium Sandvik 14C28N stainless steel, heat-treated to an impeccable 62 HRC for unrivaled durability and edge retention. With its sleek brushed finish, the blade deploys effortlessly via a tailored thumbhole—designed for flawless operation even with gloves on. The double half-stop system delivers satisfying feedback with every snap, ensuring the blade stays open securely while protecting your fingers from accidental closure. The backspring strikes a masterful balance, keeping the blade firm yet smooth to open and close, making it as intuitive as it is reliable.

The Union Jackal reimagines the classic Barlow with a bold, hyper-modern twist. Its ergonomic, ambidextrous, slightly contoured handle fits like a glove in hands of all sizes, offering exceptional grip and versatility across multiple hold styles. Crafted with a satin-finished stainless steel integral bolster and liner, paired with sleek black carbon fiber scales on this prototype, the handle exudes sophistication and strength. Held together by Torx screws, it’s built for future customization—whether through ProForge’s own offerings or third-party upgrades coming soon.

Every detail shines, from the short, deep-carry pocket clip—painstakingly perfected by Mr. Cromwell for effortless pocket attachment and rock-solid security—to the reversible design with a lanyard hole cutout. Swap it out or go clip-free with the included stainless steel insert (and an optional second insert available for purchase), keeping the handle flush and streamlined. With tolerances honed to a micron, the fit and finish are nothing short of extraordinary.

The Union Jackal is the go-to knife for every day carry in the UK.
