Thanked: 98The crack will be easy to fix if you take the scales off and apart.
What I would use for the repair is some Good epoxy, then sand the scales with 400grit wet or dry paper-DRY so you can collect the clean sanding dust to mix with epoxy to fill the crack, but first you must clean the black from the crack, an needle point or fine knife point will scrape that out, then mix epoxy and bone dust and fill it in, then sand when dry and polish going to finer grits and buffing.
Done carefully you should not see the crack at all.

Thanked: 4823There are a few ways to approach that. You have one method previously mentioned. You can also file out a bit on the back side and glue a splint to it, either as a method or in combination with the above. You can also use the wedge as a splint after you have done the above repair. There is also the traditional wrap it with some very fine wire.
It's not what you know, it's who you take fishing!

Thanked: 3215The best way is to unpin it, and if you are unpinning the pivot…
Cleaning the crack is the trick, otherwise the patch may not hold and will still be seen.
Try a tooth brush and some simple green, if you un-pin attack from both sides, without scraping so you can wick some CA in the crack from the inside. Vinegar or Peroxide might help to clean the crack.
It is a pretty substantial crack, so drill the hole a bit larger to give the pin some room to expand. If you can’t get the crack clean, it might be time for some nice horn scales.
Nice find, the blade should clean up nicely.
