Same with knives. I've seen knives that shouldn't be yellow.
Yours, however, looks great. Nice job!!
Thanks Steve!
Yellow for cars definitely looks good on a 1970 Dodge Coronet Super Bee, a 1970 Chevy SS396 Chevelle and possibly a newer year Chevy Corvette (I'm sure there are a few others but those are the ones that come to mind).
And I can definitely agree that its probably only for certain knives. Luckily, it turned okay for this one!

Love it!
I have loved yellow handled knives since childhood - my first "big-boy" knife was a German Eye with yellow plastic handles, and I still find myself drawn to them today.
But that yellow bone REALLY looks great!

Hi,
The jigging on those beautiful scales. Is it applied by your good self or does it come that way from Culpepper.
If you do the jigging yourself, is it possible to share the technique.

I am fascinated by bone scales and jigging by hand.From what I currently understand it is applied with a Dremel like tool.

Thanks
Ozwelder.

Hi Oz!
The bone comes with the jigging already done when I get it from Culpepper. I haven’t done any jigging by hand but I seem to remember one or two folks on here who have tried it.
