Thread: Epoxy and repin Help Please

Many options. First one would be is it really worn is just loose. Simply open the razor, put the scale on something hard like a piece of steel or the smooth part of a file, then give the pin 4 or 5 light taps with a small hammer, preferably a ball peen hammer. They may take care of the issue.

If the brass pin is worn in half, or nearly worn out, then you just grind one side off, or file it off, and take it out. Then put in a new pin. If the hole in the blade has actually worn out and gone oval, then you can either drill it out and put in a sleeve provided you have enough steel in the tang to safely drill it out for a small brass sleeve, or fill it with metalized epoxy (JB Weld) and drill a new pivot pin hole which is tricky. You have to get the blade leveled and you will need a drill press set on a low speed, dont even try it with a hand drill. You will not get the hole straight.

As cannonfodder said, many options. What would help us is for you to take the pin out and photo the tang from several angles so we can give you a better and more precise idea as to how to proceed. Help is on the way pending a more detailed description of the problem.
