[Jake Hoback] Summit Black Titanium, Böhler M390

Description:

Northern Idaho’s craggy peaks shrink before the Jake Hoback Knives Summit—a frame-lock juggernaut that looms unmissable yet tucks into your gear like a sly fox.

Forged in Hoback’s rugged outpost, its got a thick titanium frame that gets carved out internally—shedding fat to hit a lean 8.4oz (238g), delivering the heft of a one-pound bruiser in a lighter, meaner package. That titanium isn’t just eye candy—6AL4V grade, it’s a corrosion-defying fortress, tough as nails yet light enough to keep your carry nimble, laughing off rust while adding a grizzled, bead-blasted swagger that begs to be held.

The 3.5-inch (8.89cm) M390 blade—Böhler’s premium stainless alchemy—packs 1.1% carbon, 20% chromium, 4% vanadium, and molybdenum into a 60-62 HRC edge that holds like a pitbull, slicing through timber or hide with surgical spite, shrugging off wear and corrosion like it’s nothing.

A hardened steel insert shields that M390 from the titanium lock bar’s grind, keeping the blade pristine through every hack, slash, or whisper-thin cut. This Summit doesn’t flinch—born in Idaho’s wild heart, it’s a mountain-slaying king, daring you to grip it and carve your own legend.
