Nice find there.

On the forend, if your plan to stipple, try a place that will not show and test first because you might not like how it looks. Some of the poly/nylon material out there does not lend itself to stipple very well. I tested stipple on a hidden part of an ati forend and didn't like how it came out.(I didn't use a pointed tip and that may be the reason). The knife handle below came out pretty good but the material was not rock hard, like an ati forend. I'm still learning to stipple but that's my experience, for what its worth...
