Coffin Jack and extra long pulls

Most old knives (meaning pre-1900 or so) that used the full faceting of bolsters and scales usually seem to be quite premium examples -- usually with MOP or thin ivory scales. I have several in several patterns and they are all quite special -- and feel amazing in the hand. I don't think it was an easy thing to do the subtle faceting all the way like that by hand and get it perfect (there's little room for error, and it would look obviously bad if you make a little bobble in the process). These were knives for the master cutlers.
 
Beautiful knife. Still trying to warm up to the extra long pulls. :o
 
Wow! How did I miss this thread until now?

Ken that Coffin Jack is off the charts with form and function. Just terrific.

Hey Gus, don't burn out your drool valve with this one friend. ;) :D
 
Wow. Normaly I HATE long pulls, but those are gorgeous...
Something about the way they continue the 'line' of the blade right into the handle. Thats fabulous!
