q 3/8" Tapered Countersink
q Minimum Size Required: 1/4" x 2" x 7"
Knife Scale Material (x2)

q F-Style Clamps
q Wood Files/Rasps
q 5-Minute Epoxy
q Sandpaper
q Eye & Ear Protecon
q Dust Mask
q Double-sided Tape
Layout & Cung:
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, posion 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.
