"Coffin Jack" ? is this a long established term ? the knife is a Swell Center Jack with Coffin bolsters, and a swell knife it is too.
to take the Ebony Swell Center out hunting would be a dream come true for me.

Roland, I am not aware of the etymology of the term "coffin jack". I think we call it that because it's easier to write and say, and you're mostly correct. It is a swell-center jack knife but it doesn't have coffin bolsters. It has rat tail bolsters and is a barehead, so no caps in which to facet.

From the Blade guide, there is a rare pattern called a coffin or crown pen that can be loosely described as a "straight congress". Some makers built them flat-sided with squarish ends and facets, appearing like coffins, but they are actually shaped like a narrow barrel. Who knew? :confused::rolleyes:

I wonder if anyone makes swell-center coffins for more elbow room for the long dirt-nap. :p
 
Kerry, right, somehow i just hallucinated bolsters on Reese's Barehead Swell Center Jack. musta bin the mushrooms in my omelet.

Ok, Kerry, you're throwing words like "etymology" to this country platinum boy, which is not fair. I have to get up from my tree stump and holler to the missus for the meaning of what you're saying.

Now, since you're so wise and all, please 'xplain the wondrous epistemology of the superior knife making happening in the Terre Haute area of Indiana, including the Wilfred Works phenomena.

Thank you :D

The simplest way to say it Juan is that at Wilfred Works, shit happens.
 
Watch yer language, Juan...you might epistemoff a moderator. :D
 
Haven't you always wondered what an ebony BackPocket from Tony Bose would look like with a saddlehorn blade.? This was a request from a customer and you'd think after all these years of making knives that Tony would have done this by now. The lucky customer get's a "Prototype", CPM440V blade, ebony covers, pinned SS gimp shield, and flush joint.

That's a bad ass knife there. I reckon I would settle for "0." Still got the flush joint, or "clean and square" as it is known in other parts of BF?
 
Lucky fella'. Congratulations. The shape of that blade brings back so many great memories of a youth spent wearing out Buck 110s. This thread makes my days. Thank you.
 
I don't think I've ever had a horny back pocket. I had a horny front pocket once but it turns out it was just the peanut I was carrying at the time.
 
WOW. Fantastic knife.
such incredible clean, powerful and graceful lines throughout. the pinched bolsters are also perfect for this knife.
I see this as the finest folding field dressing knife i have ever seen. were it mine, i would dedicate it to this use, the blade never touching anything but flesh.
i truly feel emotionally 'moved' by this knife.
