Here are some pics of a handle I put on one of my chops that is the 3/8" Lava Flow Kirinite. I got the first slab of the thicker stuff and wanted to show what a interesting handle this stuff makes.

I'm a bit rusty on how to get my Ipad pics through photobucket to KD's so it may take a few edits & trys.
The difference of this material from inside to outside is astounding!

Nice.
That Kirinite and the aggressive contours really show it off and give it some striking character.

Hi BossDog.
I hand sanded to 1000 Grit and then buffed with Fabuluster on a soft cotton buff.

This Lava Flow Kirinite finishes like no other material I've ever used or seen before!
It has all kinds of stuff going on just under the finish and deeper, It goes from a flat black to almost metallic grey when you take it out in the direct sunlght.

I am waiting until you get the thicker blue and red colored Kirinite before I get more.

Cool stuff.!
 
Wild looking design, lines just flow all over the place. I'm waiting for some blocks of this great stuff to make a really big hidden tang kmfe for myself. Kirinite is addictive to work with.
 
Looks good, and a cool knife.
It is a pleasure to work with, my wife said "It's really modern looking" I agree.
