Here's a nice twist on an old idea

Post by singin46 »

This was the BF knife last year and I bought it as a second from Barry, the stag was not that great, with plans to re handle it. Got with our own Glennbad and decided to do a bit of jade like jigbone on it. Turned out fantastic, and nice thin profile too. I know it won't be everyone's cup of tea but I love it! Thanks a ton Glenn ::tu::

I guess I'm just a bit on the slow side. What did Glenn do, dye the stag?? ::shrug::

So the "old idea" was putting new handles on it and the Jade Bone was the "nice twist"?

Is that Culpepper Jade Bone. Wherever it came from, they did a very nice job of making it look like jade.
