"Hi Dennis,
Guess I wasn't fast enough to enter the contest as I couldn't access through the link on your announcement. Good luck to all who enter. The knife looks really nice.
Bruce"

"I AM IN
Thanks Jan, for the chance.

"I don't usually enter contests due to a lack of winning ability. However, when the prize is my favorite brand and pattern knife, how can I resist? Regrettably, I missed the KnivesLive days, but have been accumulating for many years…"
"ANYTHING 2020--- It has been an eventful year for all, no doubt. On our wedding anniversary (#52), I had a heart attack. The doctor told me a stent wasn't an option and open heart surgery was the only route to recovery. With a…"
"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…"
"OK, that computes. I would be tickled if you would lend me a fastener. I can see this also making it easier to leave a slight clearance for smooth blade movement. You must, however, allow me to replace it when the web site comes…"
"So, what you're telling me is the pin is nickel silver or SS rod? I would think either would be too soft to resist the friction of the blade rotation. Then again, I have never built a slip joint of any type, so am just being sure I'm…"
"D ale,
Regarding your addendum, I would do the same myself if communicating with someone I was unaware of their expertise and knowledge. As it happens, I do have a very wide background in a lot of stuff including metal work, but am never…"
"I think I have a couple of liners that can work on a liner lock, if you are interested. Will have to check and measure them to see if they might be a candidate for your second project. Sympathies on the Kinfolks. I've had a…"
"I had always figured the pivot pins would be hardened. The center pin, not so much. Guess I was wrong about the pivot pin. As an aside, I bought a batch of Schrade parts a while back on ebay, so if you need liners for Schrade, I…"
"D ale,
I had seen this process somewhere but thought it looked like difficult to cut the pins. Hadn't thought of the utility blades. That's how I will proceed. Looks like you are doing the same thing I'm trying with…"
"Questions are always useful when trying to figure out a problem. I think we worked the problem well. I think the only way to make the marriage work and come out with a good knife will be to take them both apart and use the best…"
"Hi D ale,
Sorry I haven't gotten back to you sooner. I tried the epoxy route on the H & B MOP knife and it worked a treat! The scale is tight and no damage to anything. I still have to do the clean up on the whole knife,…"
"Hi Jan,
I never win these things, but I can't help playing. Besides, it's always neat to see what folks are doing. The new owners are Erin, Pat and Katie Glynn. I do wish them the very best. The site seemed easy to…"
"D ale,
Guess I will have to get some epoxy. I have used a good deal of it over the years, but have none currently. Also just picked up a couple of small clamps today that will be perfect to hold everything together. Thanks for all…"
"Yes, it does. I cleaned the pearl and the liner as much as I could with 400 grit abrasive in the gap, but don't know if epoxy or some other adhesive will bond the two together. I assume that if I had some way to peen the brass pin…"
