Art Glass Jackknife Bong — A Straight Cylinder with a Striking Twist
The Art Glass Jackknife bong is one of the most visually distinctive pieces in the Art Glass range. Starting life as a classic straight cylinder, this bong is folded back on itself midway up the shaft while the glass is still molten, creating a permanent incline that leans the mouthpiece naturally toward the user. The result is a bong that is both immediately recognisable and genuinely more comfortable to use than a conventional upright tube. If you are searching for an Art Glass Jackknife bong that stands out on any shelf or coffee table, this is it.
The Jackknife Design — Form and Function in One
The defining feature of the Jackknife is, of course, the fold itself. Rather than simply decorating the outside of the glass, the design change is structural — it alters the entire geometry of the piece. The kink sits roughly halfway up the tube, angling the upper section at a comfortable incline. This means you do not need to crane your neck forward or tilt the bong awkwardly when you take a hit; the mouthpiece comes to meet you instead.
That same kink serves a second, practical purpose. Because the fold creates a natural narrowing inside the tube, ice cubes placed into the bong will catch at the jink rather than dropping straight into the water chamber. This turns the design feature into a fully functional ice notch, allowing you to cool your smoke significantly before it reaches your lips. Cooler hits are smoother, less harsh on the throat, and generally more enjoyable — making the Jackknife genuinely functional as well as visually striking.

Art Glass — Quality You Can Trust at an Honest Price
Art Glass is a brand built around delivering genuine glass quality without the inflated price tag that often accompanies better-known names. Their bongs are crafted with an average glass thickness of 3.2mm — the same specification as the standard Little Sista made famous by Roor. That measurement matters because thicker glass resists knocks, thermal stress, and everyday wear far better than the thin-walled pieces common at the budget end of the market.
The Jackknife uses an 18.8mm joint, which is the most widely used size in the UK market and means you will have no difficulty finding compatible bowls, downstems, and accessories. The joint size also allows for a generous volume of airflow, contributing to the smooth, open draw that users of this bong consistently enjoy.
For those interested in pairing their bong with a high-quality accessory, the 'Black Leaf' 'Cool B' Double Filter Precooler Bowl is a well-matched addition that can further refine your smoking experience.
Who Is the Jackknife Bong For?
The Jackknife is genuinely versatile in terms of its intended audience. For beginners, it offers an accessible entry point into glass water pipes. The price of £19.95 keeps financial risk low while the 3.2mm glass construction means you are not sacrificing quality for affordability. The inclined mouthpiece also makes the learning curve gentler — there is less awkwardness in finding the right position to take a comfortable draw.
For established bong collectors, the Jackknife fills a different niche. It is an unusual conversation piece that sits comfortably alongside premium branded glass without demanding a premium price. Its distinctive silhouette makes it immediately distinguishable on a shelf full of straight tubes and beakers. If you are building a collection that demonstrates range and personality, the Jackknife earns its place effortlessly.
