One of my latest ebay scores was a Boker Red-Injun #101 round point. It had a small chip out of the blade, but other than that, was in fantastic condition. I couldn't wait to get to work on it. I spent around five hours hand sanding it, and working the chip out. I worked it to 400 grit, and was planning on putting it in the vibrating polisher for a few days. So of course I had to take the scales off... yup, they broke while I was removing the pin. I thought I had drilled down more than far enough to gently lift the scales up. Snap. What an aweful sound.

Has anyone had any luck gluing scales? Of course they broke right at the pin point, which is the highest stress point. I don't think even epoxy would hold them together, but I might give it a shot.

Anyway, if anyone has any boker scales they'd like to sell, let me know.
