Hoback Kwaiback FAQ

The Jake Hoback Kwaiback series blends samurai inspired aesthetics with a rugged construction built for both heavy duty tasks and everyday carry.

What steel is used in the Hoback Kwaiback?
The Hoback Kwaiback series uses 20CV blade steel, a premium material chosen for its high wear resistance and durability. This steel is typically paired with a stonewashed finish that helps mask scratches and wear from frequent use.
How secure is the button lock on the Kwaiback series?
The button lock on the Hoback Kwaiback series is recessed and low profile to help prevent accidental disengagement during hard use. This design prioritizes safety, requiring a more intentional press to release the blade while providing a very stable lockup during cutting tasks.
What is the blade length and shape of the Kwaiback?
The series features a 3.75 inch trailing point tanto blade with a stonewashed finish. This hybrid profile combines the piercing strength of a tanto with the belly of a trailing point, making it suitable for a wide range of slicing and utility work.
Does the Kwaiback feature multiple opening methods?
Yes, the Hoback Kwaiback offers multiple deployment options, including a traditional rear flipper tab and a front flipper. The smooth pivot also allows for a slow roll opening if a more deliberate or quiet deployment is needed.
Who makes the Hoback Kwaiback knives?
These versions of the Hoback Kwaiback are produced by WE Knives for Jake Hoback. This collaboration brings together the signature Hoback design with manufacturing precision and premium materials like titanium and 20CV steel.
What is the approximate price for a Hoback Kwaiback?
The Hoback Kwaiback series generally retails in the $480 range. This reflects the use of premium 20CV blade steel, contoured titanium handles, and the specialized recessed button lock mechanism.
