From Ulysse Robert Knives website..."My name is Ulysse Robert and I'm a full-time knifemaker located in the province of Quebec, Canada.
I’ve always had a fascination for metalwork, design and precision. These interests led me to pursue a training in watchmaking in my late teens. I was lucky enough to be able to obtain two apprenticeships in Switzerland to further develop my knowledge. Not too long after, I found the world of custom knives and slowly transitioned from working on watches to making knives.
For me, knives are the perfect balance between art and engineering. Developing my style while gradually improving my fabrication techniques has been one of the most fulfilling experiences of my life. I believe that my formal training in watchmaking really shaped me as a maker and that some of these influences can be found in my knives today!"
Ulysse Robert makes a small volume of knives each year. This Small Pinnacle Jack is his second Small Pinnacle Jack and 10th overall. The clip-point blade is hand rubbed CPM154 and the scales are jigged Redstone Richlite with a Mother of Pearl pivot. The scales have a faux bolster. The liners and are 416 stainless steel. The blade features a well-cut nail nick, and there is a place for a lanyard behind the spring and tucked in between the liners. The blade has a half-stop, a smooth and easy pull, locks up tight and sits centered when closed. Nick walk and talk, as well. This knife comes to Windy City Knives new from Ulysse at the 2025 Blade Show, by way of the original purchaser. It includes a generic padded zippered case, Ulysse's signed COA and sticker.
