Roger Massey coffin-handled bowie.

[RogerP]

Greetings all,

This is one that you have probably seen before. It used to reside at The Home for Excellent Bowies, more commonly known as Danbo's place.

This one sports a 6 1/2" blade of forged 52100, with a dramatic clip.

And a coffin handle in ironwood:

With a well-executed file-worked oval shaped guard:

A really delightful mid-sized bowie from one of the very best makers out there.

Photos by...you guessed it...Murray White

Thanks very much for posting the pictures of this knife. I am very fond of Roger Massey's knives and in particular his bowies. This is a beauty.

Is that the one that was FS a few weeks ago? It's really nice!

Danbo is indeed the keeper of some fine knives. This one is exceptional, had I not had more than a few irons in the fire I would have jumped right on this.

Nice pics, thanks.

Win
