Juma Gem handle materials on blade by Ben C
On the facebook group Australian Beginner Knife Making we sent out some samples of Juma Gem. To makers wanting to help test a (to us) new handle material from Germany called Juma Gem. Originally made for smaller inserts, we thought it would look great also on it's own.
Check out this gem from Ben C, using a blue Juma Gem as handle scales with a skinning blade made from an old Fork truck and matching steel pins. Love the clean shapes of the blade and the twirly, colourful handle.
