Blackjack fixed blades

Post by ken98k »

I've noticed a lot of Blackjack fixed blade knives on ebay all of a sudden. Seller "Ecop" has some listed as Reproductions and others as USA made. Seller "Survivorhand," who usually sells china or pakistan knifes, has them listed as USA made. None show photos of the back side of the blade. All are in the $300 range. Is Blackjack producing knives again?

Would stay far away from Ecop. Bought two Case knives, they send some off-brand Chinese knives. No way to contact. They have tons of negative feedback also.

Don't both of these sellers just have Blue Ridge fulfill orders for them? I've bought from both, and both packages had a Marion, VA return address.

Ken, I think some new Blackjack fixed blade knives were remade in the USA by Bark River (BRK) a few years ago USING the Blackjack logo. I am not sure what the status is now. I thought the original Blackjacks were no longer produced. I had a "Black Mamba" years ago and unfortunately traded off several years ago, ::dang:: one of the knives I wish I still had. ::doh::

I am going to do some research and see what it going on with the brand these days... ::hmm::

I found this site https://blackjackknives.com/
The original Blackjacks were made in japan, then they were made in Effingham Illinois (I think that's where Brian lives also)
The knives I have were made there, in Effingham. I was under the impression the they went under and the owner was now involved with Bark River. ::uc::

Brian lives on the South edge of Effingham, IL. Stopped there several years ago on the way down home & picked up the annual knife. He's a handsome lad & his wife is a very attractive lass. Nice folks.
