The smooth pecan wood handle brings warmth and natural beauty to the knife while maintaining a comfortable, secure grip. Its distinctive coffin-style profile fits naturally in the hand, offering excellent control without unnecessary bulk. Rich wood grain patterns make every handle one of a kind, while brass pins securely fasten the scales to the tang and add a timeless accent that complements the knife's classic design. The combination of forged steel, natural wood, and polished brass creates a look that's both rugged and refined.
Measuring 7.25" overall, the Trenton Tye Custom Coffin Handle Model 1 offers an excellent balance of portability and functionality. It's compact enough for comfortable everyday carry while providing the capability expected from a handcrafted fixed blade. A custom brown leather sheath with an integrated belt loop is included, protecting the blade while keeping it readily accessible in the field.
