Coffin Handle Vest Bowie

[Jason Fry]

I asked for pics of coffin handles a few months ago, as I was contemplating a project. Here's what I came up with. This knife represents several “firsts” for me. It’s the first time I’ve done a coffin handle, and the first time I’ve used a frame handle construction. The 5 1/4″ blade is hand satin finished 1080 steel at RC 60 with drawn swedges. The guard and pins are 416 stainless steel. The handle is African blackwood with a red/black/red G10 frame. Overall length is 10 1/4″. Custom sheath by Jack Andress. Price is $400.
