Looking great! keep us updated!

 

[HallHandmade]

Impressive... I look forward to seeing it in its final form...

 

[Dan Leeper]

Nice work! Can't wait to see its progress.

 

[Josh Mason]

That's such clean work Adam. This one is going to be amazing I'm sure.

 

[AVigil]

Thanks guys...

I am thinking of a stainless guard and a black ebony coffin handle

 

[Kentucky]

Sweet! excellent work friend.

 

[AVigil]

I made a guard from SS 416 and fitted it. I needed a jig to keep it in place so I made one of those as well

I have a piece of Gabony Ebony for a coffin handle.

This knife has been fun and a compilation of parts from several makers...

Forged blank came from Fred Rowe.

Stainless for guard from Jeff Mutz

Ebony for handle from Mike Lovett

That jig is brilliant !

 

[TrekJeff]

Looks great, are the plates for the guard epoxied together, hence the need for the jig?

 

[AVigil]

Eric...thanks

Trek....The guard is one piece. I made 2 grooves in it.

When I go to install the guard with JB Weld, the jig will hold it tight in place so no movement is possible while it cures.

 

[TrekJeff]

Very nice!

 

[AVigil]

I have been doing some work on it.

Nothing is glued up yet. Still need to do some work on it before mounting the guard and handle.

Thought I would put up a pick of the progress so far.

 

[Burton Harruff]

Nice and clean. Good work.

I'm not generally a great fan of coffin handled bowies, but that hits the spot there. Very nice and clean work.
