Hello everyone, Merry Christmas! I found an old Robeson ShurEdge butcher knife awhile back, in a flowerbed of all places. Cleaned it up a bit, it's still pitted, and from what I've been able to find online, not worth much. I would like to reuse this…Continue

Andy those are some beautiful scales and you certainly did them justice with that work!
Just some info good to know
JJ
Thats a pretty sweet tool
Hi D ale and anyone else interested.
I finished the H & B knife with loose MOP scale. Using your suggestion of 5-minute epoxy, the scale is now firmly attached and the knife cleaned up. Pictures attached. Thanks for the advise and support. I now have a pretty, solid and functional addition to the accumulation of cutting instruments.
Always good to have folks to ask questions when there is a new challenge afoot.
Bruce,
I sent you an email.

Their LINK came back up.

However, should you experience any difficulties ... I've still got one in the wings for you.
.
While on that subject .. you might consider "washers" through the pins & between the blade & liners. Although, the above linked washers are 0.015" thick ea. This set is slightly thinner @ 0.012" thick ea.
... ... ... BUT ... ... ...
imo .. I'd skip the washers because the threaded fasteners of the hardened pins allow for an infinite adjustment for your desired fit. Further, once threadlocked into place .. they stay there. Well, till you might desire removal for some purpose or an adjustment @ a later date anyway.
.
Again, if you experience any difficulties through Knifekits .. I've a hardened SS pivot pin in the wings for you.
.
Note: I've sourced a lot of parts through knifekits & never experienced a problem !
.
Enjoy,
D ale
