Here is my next kit knife. I've got 2 of these toothpicks and I'm thinking about using the
white kirinite knife scales on one and the black kirinite on the other. I'm not sure if
the gold metal flake would look good on this pattern.

Here is what I did with this one. This is some Kirinite Gold Flake that I had from another restore I did.
I think it turned out okay.

Looks great.
I think gold kirinite on a knife is like yellow on a car - on some it looks good, on others it doesn't.
But that's me.

For goodness sakes I haven't post on this thread since July of 2023!
Well here is a kit knife I just finished. Sold by Black Sierra Equipment it's a solid and heavy knife at 6.56 ozs.
It came ready to assemble with a choice of grey or red "engineered wood." Assemble was easy and as you can
see I went with the red wood. I started out on my bench belt sander getting the shape I wanted on the handles
and then used my cordless Dremel and 1000 to 7000 grit disks to finish the handles. Then I applied some E.J. Wheaton Co. Microcrystalline Wax Polish. It's not a CASE or a Buck, but I think it will do a good days work.
