Layout & Cung:

Examine knife scales to determine the exterior/interior sides. Once

determined, join the two interior sides together using double-sided

tape, ensure all four edges of the blanks are ﬂush. Using the knife

blank, trace the tangs proﬁle onto the scales. Cut out the proﬁle of

the handle, leaving the lines previously traced.

Drilling & Shaping:

Using two small pieces of double-sided tape, posion the knife tang

onto the knife scales. Using a sacriﬁcial piece of wood underneath

the scales to prevent tear out, use a 5mm diameter brad pint bit,

bore all three holes through both scales. Once drilled, separate the

knife blank from the scales, then separate the two scales halves.

Using a 3/8" tapered countersink, counter bore all six holes on the

exterior side of the scales to accommodate the head of the fasten-

er. Head of the fastener should be slightly below the surface of the

scale.

Shaping & Assembly:

q Clean the interior of the scales and knife tang with acetone or

denatured alcohol. This helps ensure that all residue and oils have

been removed along with aiding in proper adhesion.

q Dry-ﬁt the scales to the knife tang. Once sasﬁed with the ﬁt,

mix and apply Blade Pro Epoxy or an epoxy of your choice. Apply

epoxy to the knife tang and interior side of scales. Ensure to not

apply epoxy in the holes of the scales and knife tang that could

transfer onto the threads of the fasteners. Apply the scales to the

knife tang, and install the screw together fasteners. Remove any

and all excess epoxy at this me, making the clean up, shaping and

ﬁnishing process easier.

q Once cured, sculpt the handle to the desired shape using ﬁles,

rasps, and sandpaper. Once the desired shape has been achieved,

sand through progressive grits up to 320 grit depending on material

and desired ﬁnish.

q Apply a ﬁnish of your choice, polish as desired.
