Northwoods Ocoee Jack

The Northwoods Knife brand name originated in Gladstone, Michigan when a man named Dave Shirley adopted it as his knife company's name in 2004. Dave was well known for collaborating with popular knife companies to have knives made to his specifications for resale well before 2004 & beyond. KnivesShipFree bought Northwoods from Dave & has continued to team up with respected makers to produce knives marked with the Northwoods brand name.

Mine arrived yesterday, nice knife but I prefer the 2 blade 92, I really use that coping blade a lot, works great on packages. The 92 looks better with the spear in my opinion, just something off with the Bohncliff in the 92 frame.

Congrats to all who got one of these great looking knives. I'm afraid I got shut out on this round. Maybe next time! :D

The Ironwood on these ones is most attractive but i think the blade design prevents it from being "Oh Wow !"

I really like the blade design. As someone who was late to the game and hasn't been able to get a Fremont Jack, this is a nice knife. I especially like the curvature of the handle compared to the Signal Jack. I'm bummed I wasn't able to get a Mammoth Signal Jack, but I'll live.

I've been carrying/using my Ocoee Jack now since it arrived after its drop. It's a good blade. Easy to sharpen. Utility is good. I'm a fan.

Wow Greg, that is a nice looking knife. It has a very “classic” look to it.
What is that big Northwoods leather looking background?

Thanks Mark! That's a leather desk caddy that Knives Ship Free sold for a while. I don't know whether they still have them or not but they are very nice. It was $49.99.
