Rehandles, Camillus Riders of the Silver Screen (2)

Post by PringleTree »

Hello all:

Here are two Camillus Riders of the Silver Screen collector's series (1991) knives that Herb rehandled for me, one last year and one this month. Being slightly larger than a Camillus 23, these beefy knives offer a nice-size canvas (4 1/4") for a bit of experimentation when it comes to new covers.

The bottom knife is now covered in Crazy Fiber Burl that I bought from Atlas. The top knife is now in XGrip Red/Blue Infused from KnifeKits.com. I'm quite happy with both. The XGrip proved to be duller when finished than I thought it would be when I saw the slabs online. It does have a great color/pattern mix, but some of the vividness shown here is due to the proximity of the camera flash. But, then again, I think I may be subconsciously comparing it to Kirinite which, to me, is a very vivid/bright acrylic. In any event, I'm happy to try some new materials. These will be in my pocket, not on a shelf, so they meet my needs 100%.

As usual, Herb's work was fantastic.

Thanks for looking.

Chris J.

Changed those old novelty knives in to beauties. Unrecognizable! Great work.

I'll second that.

Those look great. I am still considering whether to rehandle the one I got from you, and what material to use.

I appreciate your interest in asking; however, it was a private arrangement between friends.

Thanks for your kind words, dog, Bill, and OC!

OC, I'm sure you'll come up with something great should you choose to do a rehandle on that Silver Screen that you have. ::tu:: I'm thinking that one of these "Silver Screens" might look good in Kirinite True Blood, left, or Lava Flow, right.

I'll try to get some pics out in the sunlight this week, see if the colors show better.
