[QUOTE="the blacksmith, post: 9493103, member: 20148"]I have only just seen this thread............ Unsurprisingly, called a 'coffin handled' knife. I believe the style originated with Bowie knives. As Komokwa has said, this handle appears to have been added by a previous owner, though seemingly some time ago. Perhaps, the owner added a corpse in the coffin? I have certainly never seen one quite like this![/QUOTE]
