    In this video I make my favorite giant knife a Coffin handle Bowie Inspired by the new Double H "Phantom Rider" Boot series. I use some techniques new to me …. Such as the hollow grind!
    This was challenging & I learned a lot on this one!!

    Woo hoo!!! ❤❤❤ I hid that hefty piece of brass (and a couple other goodies) in one of Jimmy's shops when I first got to meet him at Maker Camp 2022. Wasn't sure he'd ever even find them. Haha! So cool to see it get used like this! Thanks Jimmy!

    I’ve always loved how Jimmy takes time at the end of his videos to admire the finished piece. Good work! I’ve been meaning to start learning the art of knife making. I have most of the tools, I just need to start. I think now I’ll start.
