8" skinner in cmps-35vnc and lava flow kirinite

[randallss7]

Finished one up this after noon, I really like this one. It's my first Kirinite handle I was worried how it would look on a hunting knife, I think it turned out good. It was different to work with but if you go slow and cool you will be ok, I finished 90% of the handle contouring and polishing by hand sanding then buffed to a shine with pink compound and loose cotton wheel. I started with 3/8" scales on this one and really rounded them.

8" total
3 1/4" blade cut from 3/16" stock thickness cmps-35vnc stainless, this one has a full flat grind.
handle is Lava Flow Kirinite with nickel silver pins and lanyard tube

That is a wild design. What is the material like?

Pretty sure this one is my favorite so far. The red lava handles looks awesome.

Absolutely beautiful! Love the handle scales. Great file work as always.

I saw this knife in person today, it's stunning to say the least. Made me almost want to buy this one instead of the one I did, almost...
