All About Pocket Knives

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.

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