Another Camillus 23

Post by Jeffinn »

I love these large Camiillus knives and always have a few in my project box. I put some amber wormgroove handles on this one. It turned out pretty nice.

I hate to correct a friend, but that is NOT "pretty nice".
That is GORGEOUS!
I love me some wormgroove bone, and you have that one looking great!

That is beautiful! I keep meaning to pick one of those big Camillus 23 up, but haven’t for some reason. Now you’ve given me more reason to go trolling for one! That is what they should have looked like all along!

Yes, you are correct. It did turn out pretty nice. That is some great looking handle material and a great finished product.

That looks good Jeff!
Normally I don't like the look off worm groove bone but I think the excellent shine you got on the bone and the bolsters tied the two together quite nicely! ::tu::

Hi,
Add me to the multitude who think the knife is the best thing since sliced bread.
I have never seen handle material like that.

Well done sir!
