Kirinite scales

[Jim Moenck]

Last August at Boss's hammer-in, I was fortunate enough to get a set of orange Kirinite knife scales. It definitely has a smell like Lexan when you work with it. I made this knife for my son as a deer hunting present, which I'll give to him tomorrow. Should be easy to see when he lays it down in the dry grass.
Thank Boss, and thanks for looking everyone.

Very nice knife Jim. I think it goes-without saying that your son will be thrilled!

 

[Jim Moenck]

Thanks Brad. If he doesn't like it, I'll send it to you. Don't hold your breath though.

 

[Jim Moenck]

Thanks Larry. You are right, some of that Kirinite is really far out. Very easy to identify though.

Jim, good looking knife and perfect application for that Orange Kirinite...

 

[Lagrange]

I think it turned out really well. There is just the right amount of orange, and you put it to use very well. Good Job! I'm sure he will be pleased!

 

[Jim Moenck]

Thanks everyone for the compliments. My son was very pleased, and I'm sure he is keeping it. Sorry Brad. He took it to work today to show his co-workers, all of whom are avid deer hunters. I may have to get some more scales.
Boss, thanks for making Kirinite available to us. It's a real good handle material, and pretty darned easy to work with.

At some point I expect we will but that will have to be worked out after we get up and running with a few more colors.
