About Bill Coffey Custom Folding Dagger with Heat Colored Damascus and Desert Ironwood

The Bill Coffey Custom Folding Dagger is a preowned, excellent-condition art folder from California custom knifemaker and bladesmith Bill Coffey. This elegant custom knife features a 3 5/8″ heat colored Damascus dagger blade, heat colored Damascus bolsters, desert ironwood scales, twisted gold wire inlays, a gold thumb stud with Cubic Zirconia inlay, stippled and anodized titanium liners, and a fancy filed anodized titanium back strap with gemstone inlay.

This piece has the classic look collectors expect from a high-end handmade folding dagger. The Damascus blade and bolsters give the knife rich movement and visual depth, while the desert ironwood scales add warmth and traditional custom-knife character. The twisted gold wire inlays and jeweled thumb stud bring a refined art-knife feel without making the piece overly ornate.

Bill Coffey Custom Folding Dagger with Damascus and Ironwood

The Bill Coffey Custom Folding Dagger measures 8 3/8″ overall when open, with a 3 5/8″ Damascus blade. The blade has a symmetrical dagger profile with a sharp, elegant point and deep etched patterning across the blade face. The matching heat colored Damascus bolsters continue the same visual language through the front of the handle.

The desert ironwood handle scales are a major part of the knife’s appeal. Their warm orange-brown figure contrasts beautifully with the Damascus steel and gold accents. The twisted gold wire inlays add a jewelry-like detail that fits Coffey’s reputation for ornate custom work, while the stippled titanium liners and filed back strap show the kind of finishing collectors look for when evaluating handmade folders.

Bill Coffey Custom Knife Craftsmanship

Bill Coffey is a full-time custom knifemaker and bladesmith from Clovis, California. He began making knives in the early to mid-1990s and became a full-time maker around 2004 after serving with the Clovis Police Department. His work ranges from functional fixed blades and hunters to high-art folders, daggers, swords, and refined liner-lock knives.

Coffey is known for technical precision, smooth action, ornate materials, Damascus steel, engraving knowledge, and “sole authorship” craftsmanship. His knives often feature hand-forged steel, premium handle materials, decorative liners, filework, gemstone details, and strong handmade identity. This folding dagger fits that tradition well, offering a collectible art-folder presentation with a more accessible entry point because of the few minor discolorations visible in one Damascus bolster under bright light at the right angle.
