 Hey everyone! I actually got this replica Jackal knife a while back for a steal of $11 on eBay...I know right it's insane. The reason I got it for so cheap is because it's not an official Gil Hibben knife, the blade is zip tied to the base, and it's a little worn. I've never really got the chance to fix it up or anything, but I really want to now! I want to paint it to match the colors of Faith's knife from the show, so I figured I might as well ask here seeing there are so many experienced customizers. What would you guys suggest? Paints, tools, stuff like that? I was also thinking about seeing if Wayne might repaint it but idk. All comments are appreciated! Thanks! |

Nice gold variant. I probably would of left it alone and hunt down a black version, but that's just me.
Who's your dealer on some of the comic art prints? They look like posters, but when framed they look like specialized prints - like from the artist that you purchase at a comic con. I would love to get one of the 1st issue cover to season 8 and 9, last one of 8 and the one with Graffiti Faith.

Why not just get a poster printed from a JPEG file?

At home prints are never the same as from the Specialized printers. Also they don't make paper and printers that size for at home printing. The best I can do is 8 x 10 which is the standard size.

You can go to any Photostore or even order posters online in high quality for very reasonable prices.

I would love to get one of the 1st issue cover to season 8 and 9, last one of 8 and the one with Graffiti Faith. Well, for $11. It's kinda hard to say no.  I bought both prints from the artists themselves at conventions. Both are hand signed.  |
