Kibler Curly Maple Scrap
« on: March 14, 2020, 08:39:46 PM »
This piece of Curly Maple from Jim Kibler came out really nice. Because a knife handle is so small, the more contrast/definition the better.  Finish is slightly textured on this hand forged skinner...tippit

Nice. Does the finish match the Kibler rifle you must have made. If so let's see the photos.

Curly maple does indeed look nice on there.  Btw, that blade shaped looks like it would be good for a patch knife too. God bless, Marc

Beautiful knife, I really like the ones with just a little forge texture left on them...but man, I’d love to see the board those scales came from!
