Product Details

Smith & Wesson High Grade Hand Select Bastogne Bear Hug Grips (K/L FRAME)

This is a set of hand-crafted, hand-selected, High Grade Bastogne Walnut grips made in-house for a New Production Smith & Wesson Round K Grip Frame. Please note: the pictures provided are of the actual set you will receive. All sets are unique as there are no two sets the same.

Smith & Wesson K-frame grips are generally interchangeable with L-frame revolvers, giving shooters more flexibility in fit and feel. However, it’s important to note that square-butt frames and round-butt frames are not cross-compatible —so please confirm your revolver’s frame type before ordering.

  • Bastogne walnut ( Juglans x paradox ) is a natural hybrid between English (Persian) walnut ( Juglans regia ) and Claro walnut ( Juglans hindsii ).
  • The hybrid originated in California and is sometimes called “Paradox walnut.”
  • Density & Hardness: Bastogne is harder and denser than either parent species. This makes it stronger, less prone to dents, and well-suited for precision inletting on firearms.
  • Color & Figure: It often displays rich chocolate browns, golds, and deep blacks, with dramatic figure and contrast. The grain can range from straight to highly figured (fiddleback, feather, marblecake).
  • Weight: It is slightly heavier than English or Claro walnut, but still balances well.
  • Collector’s Note:

    Bastogne walnut trees are rare—they produce very few nuts and are not widely cultivated. That scarcity, combined with their striking figure and durability, makes Bastogne one of the most sought-after and expensive walnut species for custom grips.
