I'd love to have you post some results.

I also have a few "gassing" knives.

It's such a shame !

Thanks for posting.

After meticulously cleaning the liners of old epoxy & milling the mating surface of the scale perfectly flat .. I just trashed all that .. intentionally. Rather .. I just roughed up the surfaces to be epoxied for better adhesion.

The scales have been epoxied & pinned in place. The whole affair is "resting" for the night in a nice tight vice. I used Loctite IDH# 1393759 ..60 minute 2-part epoxy.The directions suggest leaving undisturbed for 3 hours .. full cure in 24 hours ..&.. that's what it will get.

.

Hope that helps.

Comment by J.J. Smith III on June 22, 2019 at 23:22: Cece, I'm assuming that you'll be doing the woodwork and fitment yourself. L

Dale said, I usually just do simple swaps, but found this awesome video on making custom scales for a 58 mm SAK where he uses the 2 part epoxy like Dale suggested.

Good luck and post pics.
