Halloween themed slipjoint.
Hello all. I just finished this up this week and sent it off to its new home. It was a fun project that actually turned out better and had better reception than I thought. Placing the shield lower in the covers is a not common but I felt it fit well there. I experimented on scrap with different inlay materials for the bat. I used different wood, colored epoxy and bone but all in all I thought the nickel silver looked the best. What do you all think?
Thanks for looking. comments and critiques are always welcome.

That is another gorgeous knife. Great choice on the bat, I think that looks fine just the way it is.

Re: Halloween themed slipjoint.
Thanks you. I've gotten a lot of positive feedback on the bat. I figured it would either be a hit or huge swing and miss lol.Sharpnshinyknives wrote: ↑Sat Oct 11, 2025 5:18 pm That is another gorgeous knife. Great choice on the bat, I think that looks fine just the way it is.

Great pics, I discussed the placement with you on Reddit and like it more every time I see it.

A slightly different twist on a Coffin Jack, I love it!
You did an excellent job fitting the "shield." 

Pocket, fixed, machete, axe, it's all good!

Re: Halloween themed slipjoint.
Thank you. I think the "coffin" part is a little pointier(?) than I've made before but I kept adjusting until it looked right, to me, with the blade closed.1967redrider wrote: ↑Fri Oct 17, 2025 1:08 pm A slightly different twist on a Coffin Jack, I love it!You did an excellent fitting the "shield."
