Finished one for me.

Finished one for me.

Post by Bill DeShivs »

Out of the literally dozens (I don't know how many!) Hubertus shell-puller conversions I have done, I didn't even own one!
I fixed that tonight.
Pictures are bad, but the knife is good!

That pearl is spectacular... how long did you save that ??? Hard to capture that color with a camera.

The pearl is laminated between a backing of Micarta and a lens of clear acrylic. It's not as expensive as plain MOP and comes in larger pieces. Makes it more stable, and all of it is beautiful.
Thanks.

Does what General Patton say about pearl handled revolvers apply to pearl scaled switchblades?

Beautiful knife.

That's a beauty! A knife worth carrying in a belt sheath. (It would be a shame to leave that knife a "safe queen").
