Default Culina grips

Post up pictures of yours.

Also the main question for this is how do you order or see or anything from them? I find their site extremely to gather information or to purchase.

I just ordered a set last night, K-L RB Combats. I ordered the French Walnut. From everyone I talked to, said their grips are very nice. Looking forward to getting them.

OK. I guess I'm the only one with a set of Culina's. Here they are on my nickel 29-2. I like them a lot.

Default Culina grips

Nope I have a pair too . Love them., next best thing to original smith combats In my opinion. .. yeah the website sometimes gives me trouble as well , but their service makes up for that . I find it easier to just email Jen the number of the grips you want and that's it , make a payment and it's yours. I have a few more ordered as well . Never liked the.lighter colored grips until I bought a pair of Culinas . Awsome feel and comfort

Thumbs up Excellent to deal with!

I have purchased 3 sets of grips from John and Jennifer. They have all been impeccable quality. The characteristics of the different woods are something to behold! The Culinas are exceptional to deal with. Great communication. FAST shipping. You will not be disappointed. I am anxiously waiting on the next batch of N RB to SB combats to be posted here on the Forum.

I don't even try using their website. Just go on EBAY. They put up grips as soon as they have them available. I just look at new listings first to make sure I'm not missing anything that just came up. They are the "best" grips I've ever owned and that includes the KB Ropers. Here's a pair in Kingwood Rosewood that I've posted before. Their RB grips are incredible.

Just posted this pic in the feedback section. I have been buying grips from Culina grips since I began collecting and I am never disappointed. I usually find mine when they are posted for sale here on the forum.

Here's some pics of those I have purchased from him. You can probably see a theme.

Also best way to correspond i have found,,,, is thru e-mail
with his gal that takes the orders, (can't remember her name)
heckuva' nice lady. She asked me very detailed questions of what
i was looking for in the type and grain of wood as well as the finish
i wanted. Then she sent me a photo file of the type of grips i was
ordering and the exact ones still available, and the prices were also
listed. I had contacted them about 6 months ago to check on the
availability of some K combats for my 19 snub.
She told me then that John was getting ready to start another run
of K combats within the next few months and asked for my contact
information. And when he had a new "batch" of fresh made K combats
ready she did indeed call me and asked which pair i wanted.

If you want a specific wood (Goncalo Alves) or.....??? It's best to
let them know pronto as some of these woods are hard to get from
time to time.

I'll do more business with these folks. Nice people, fair price,
outstanding quality work.

Chuck

John and I are really appreciative of the kind comments here. Our business is just John and I so we do things the best we can. Fancy websites are expensive and difficult to maintain, so ours is simple, mostly for informational purposes. We had some problems with our website several months ago but they are resolved now. Hopefully, people are still able to access it. Email is the best way to contact us, and if you don't do email you can always call us, or send me a PM.

If you are looking for grips I can send you pictures of what we have in stock, or put you on the order list for something specific, or to let you know when we post a batch of the grip type you are looing for. John does post grips batches here too.

Jennifer

Absolutely agree that they are the nicest and most accommodating people you will ever deal with.
I don't know how many of their grips I have but it is at least a half dozen...they are the absolute masters of the most varied types of gorgeous woods you can find.
