re: 2022 knife swap project

Cool, thanks. 

I basically bored out a rough, deep slot in the handle that was just a little loose, then filled it with epoxy and inserted the tang. I braced the whole thing with a couple clamps to hold the orientation until it dried. I knew it wasn’t the correct way to do it, but I wanted to try a handle with no visible lines/splits. The cherry handles Mora 2000 came out ok, but that’s because it had enough meat to deal with my sloppy boring attempts. The smaller handle for the model 1 ended up with weak points, a couple holes, and finally a split. ☠️ 

Having never done any of this, it was all new. And I’m not really a knife guy. I mean, I’ve carried a folding knife probably every day for 20 years, but usually just something small and almost sharp, but I was always interested in something very thin and with a clip on it…not exactly what we were going for here. Regardless, I very much enjoyed this swap and I’d like to make more knives, I just need to find some way to get rid of them after the build!!
