Ken Coats Jigged Bone Shadow Trapper

[fewpop]

Here's one I got from Ken not too long ago that I am really enjoying. I think Ken did some stunning work with the jigged and dyed bone on this one. The color of the bone is almost translucent in places, even somewhat resembling tortoise shell with the depth of hue. The jigging is terrific, the blade is perfectly centered, the backspring is flush in all 3 positions, and the action is just right. I really fell for the blade shape when I 1st saw it, and knew instantly that I wanted it. A lot of blade in a mid-size slipjoint. No regrets here.

It is 3&5/8" closed with razor sharp ATS34 blade that has great grinds.

Very nice! The jigged bone looks fantastic. I can see the comparison to tortoise shell, especially in the 2nd and 3rd pics.

I like it! Bone color and jig is very nice but I find it difficult to say "depth of hue".

Nice knife. Nice pictures. Now I have a nice, new, knife wallpaper.

I loved your "Milky Way" bar analogy with my Coats "Texas Jack". :thumbup:

Methinks someone has a sweet tooth!

LMAO! Must be that Stubb's marinade I soaked it in before the photo shoot. Guess it's my new official road kill folder.

Thanks for all the comments folks. :thumbup:
