It doesn’t happen often, but I’m excited to bring you this opportunity.
The July 2024 Gentleman Junkie giveaway (July 18 during “Thursday Night Knives”) knife is a handmade custom!
Donated to the channel by Bald Man Knife and Tool’s Brent Smith, I will be giving away the ultra-beefy version of his popular Albatross drop point fixed blade knife called Thick-A-Tross.
Brent has been making knives as BMKT for almost 4 years and, in that time, has developed a concise catalogue of outstanding EDC, hard-use, and outdoor fixed-blade knives.
BMKT prides itself on their heat treatments, precise grinds, and high performance.
The Thick-A-Tross up for grabs to Gentleman Junkies in July is .25-inch-thick Magnacut (HRC 63-64) with oversized jimping, swedged spear point, a flat grind and Grip-Tec G10 handles. It locks into a very well-designed and made kydex sheath.
I’ve often said the best way to get into custom, handmade, or one-of-a-kind knives is to buy fixed-blade knives directly from the makers.
For the price of a Reate collection, I have developed quite a nice and varied collection of custom knives by American makers and in doing so, have developed relationships with many of them.
Here’s a chance to start your custom knife collection!
Become a Gentleman Junkie for a chance to win the Bald Man Knife and Tool Thick-A-Tross.

Ben Belkin, Jack Wolf Knives: The Knife Junkie Podcast (Episode 515)
Ben Belkin of Jack Wolf Knives joins Bob "The Knife Junkie" DeMarco on Episode 515 of The Knife Junkie Podcast (www.theknifejunkie.com/515).
Ben got his first knife from his grandfather, after whom he’d later name his knife company, Jack Wolf Knives. He has been collecting knives, traditional folders, and others since childhood.
Ben showed off prototypes of the Jack Wolf Knives starting lineup at Blade Show 2021. Less than a year later, he officially launched the wide sale of his knives.
The June 2024 release by Jack Wolf brings another first for Jack Wolf Knives: the FIXedc, a true fixed-blade pocket knife.
