Short Line Camillus 23 with Amber Winterbottom Bone Handles

Post by Jeffinn »

The blades are in really great shape for a short line model. There's some peppering on the front and back but no pitting.
It cleaned up pretty nice and has great snap!

I love the 23 pattern, but I'm not a big fan of most winterbottom bone, however it looks good on that knife and your execution is flawless!
Nice job! ::tu::

I'm not normally a fan of winterbottom bone. But I've been looking at trying some for awhile now and decided to give it a shot. The amber color is outstanding, the jigging pattern is just okay.
Thanks for the compliments!

That looks really great!
I love Winterbottom bone anyway, but that amber color makes it look even more special.

Gorgeous Jeff, that looks fabulous. I love the color and the texture of the jigging. Man you knocked that one out of the park and then some. ::tu:: ::tu:: :mrgreen:
