Knifemaking: Frame Handle Construction

Frame handle construction for knives has been around for centuries. Historical examples of many Eastern styles like the kard, khyber and yataghan often feature ornamented frame handles. Nineteenth-century knives attributed to James Black and some of the early American bowies also had frame handle construction. Though it’s been around a long time, the frame handle remains a viable modern construction method for today’s custom knifemakers.

GTC 440C stainless steel thrust ball bearings caged in stainless steel retainers developed and patented by Gustavo T. Cecchini's GTC Knives to reduce friction and failures, increase opening time and easier cleaning. The 100% stainless steel construction eliminates the problems of other thrust bearings that are not 100% stainless. Install by cutting a pocket, with a counterbore, in both the blade and frame.
