'D' the answer is always 'D'
Tom's pop rivet bushing. Pop an aluminum rivet in, grind close to the tang. A bit of aluminum pin in the middle hole, Peen it all in tight. Drill the hole wherever you want! Attachment 233825Attachment 233826Attachment 233827Attachment 233828
Works well with blades where the tangs are bent, and won't center in the scales too.

Hey my friend,
I'd seen your very ingenuous idea a while back and it's a great idea. :tu While I have tools and the means to use them, I was thinking of something very simple for those who don't have the equipment.
As Richard (GEEZER) has said the JB Weld works---With Proper Prep. Which I know that I hadn't practiced the first time.
Tom what kind of a drill bit are you using to get the hole round in the tang?
Carbide bits that small, huh. Golly the things you guys find in the big cities.
I was more specifically wondering about titanium bits, because without ordering from the big city that is the best we can find here.
I really did not think that carbide bits came that small either.
I have larger carbide bits for drilling hard plate steel.
The pop rivet will take the shape of the hole, then peen the rivet anvil, then file it flat with the tang, then drill it out.
