[Âchillepattada]

Hello the Porch ,

I'm interested in this pattern. Any sample and pictures ?

Thanks a lot

I only have the one, but it's a good 'un. To me, it isn't all that different from a mid-sized coke bottle frame, which is one I have come to favor.

Here's one to help get the party (or, is it a wake? ) started...

Great pattern. Maybe someday I'll get one.

Interesting bit of info, Charlie. I don't recall having read that bit about this pattern.

If possible, would you mind sharing a picture of the “wraparound” spring on the pen blade for this one? I have heard these have that feature but have never seen a clear picture showing just how prevalent it is.

Bernie's 4th Edition is full of stuff we all miss!! It should be required reading for all users!!

Not the best pic. But here’s my only coffin jack. Andy Fannin. Miss our chats.

Ain't that the truth!

Really like the Black Box Winchester version I have, quite a strongly sprung knife with great W&T plus the bone is always pleasing. Decorative bolster with an interesting edged end-cap and the wrap around spring- as seen I believe on the Ettrick pattern, CASE SBJ and GEC 92. Mark of quality finish in my view.

You should ask Alain Jolipapa I'm sure he had a Coffin J from another American manufacturer? Maybe I was dreaming....

So, am I to understand, from the Levine excerpt, that if it only has a single blade then it isn't a Coffin Jack?

I see that, while I was taking photos, jmh33 beat me to it -- but, what the heck, here's another perspective!

These are a new release. I don’t have one yet but it’s a single blade which I prefer. The Winchester shown above is a great knife if you like 2 blades.

Good question!!!??? I think Bernie and I have never seen a single blade, which is more prevalent in Later knife patterns (we are both old) - but I don't see why a single blade couldn't exist!!
