A trio of rehandles by Herb

Post by PringleTree »

Pic 1, A trio of knives that Herb (herbva) rehandled for me. (Top) a smaller-sized Camillus that started out in life as an advertising knife clad in cell, see last pic. It now wears kirinite "Liquid Gold".
(Middle) a Case Yellow Synthetic Smooth Trapper (3254 CS) that I bought at Tractor Supply last year. It is now clad in kingwood.
(Bottom) a 4-line Camillus Jumbo Jack in kirinite "Black Magic".

As always, impressive work by Herb. These were my first in kirinite, and I'm loving how they turned out. The kingwood is awesome, with not as purplish a tint as the Cam 23 that he did for me previously. IIRC, he said that this kingwood came from a different source.

Thanks for looking,

Chris J.
