The Paraclete is a rare model from Jake Hoback. He made very few full customs. It's a surprisingly lightweight recurve tanto fighter design that feels like Jake showing off. It has a new lock, complex inlays, and a wild design that feels function-first in hand. This one has a heavily blackwashed blade with carbon fiber inlays. Frame is green anodized ti with carbon fiber inlays and extensive internal milling. Even the backspacer was hollowed out.

Only custom Paracletes have the Hoback 270 Lock (the lockbar insert protrudes into the blade tang and makes contact on 270 degrees of the tang for more strength and stability).

Excellent action and makes full use of the HRD Hoback Roller Detent.
