Jack W. Crain: Weapons Master
   
Jack Crain has been making knives full time since 1980. Jack makes all of the knives himself, in his one-man shop, near the rural Texas area where he grew up hunting and fishing. He has created many knives that are the prized possessions of celebrities, collectors, hunters, survivalist, military personnel and police officers worldwide. Many of his art knives are the centerpieces of private and corporate collections. There are many articles about Jack’s knives in magazines in the U.S. and Japan, Germany, Italy and France and other countries.

Jack Crain is the designer and maker of the knives seen in the following films: Dracula 2000, Executive Decision, Demolition Man, Predator 1 and 2, Die Hard 1 and 2, Commando Road House, Ford Fairlane, Action Jackson and worked on films Hudson Hawk, Last Boy Scout, and Ricochet. Jack does not - under any circumstances - give out the addresses or personal information of his entertainment contacts.

Some of Jack’s knives have been featured in the following television shows: Air Wolf, War of the Worlds, Tales From the Crypt, Kung Fu the Legends Continues and others. You may be familiar with Jacks knives that have been characterized in several books, and book series such as The Survivalist series, The Defender series, The Freeman, and Miamigrad by Jerry Ahern and Sharon Ahern, Shudderchild and True Jaguar by Warren Norwood, and The Time Police series by Warren Norwood and Mel Odom.

Although Jack now lives in a large Texas city, he still works weekdays in his original studio and shop in Weatherford, Texas. A very friendly and outgoing artist, Jack has had to close his shop and studio to all visitors due to the large volume of phone calls and interruptions in his work.

Since he does not maintain an office staff, Jack only answers e-mails regarding information about the purchase or ordering of his knives. All purchases and orders are confirmed with a personal phone call from Jack. Other types of e-mails are not answered because all the pertinent information about his knives are included in this website.
