Well there are very very slight places where it doesn't touch the scales perfectly..
Is this why you "tap it in"? ... fill those spaces? Bend it to form?
Thats what boss said.Quote:

Man this thing is cool as hell. Really suprised by it.
I did manage to put a couple small dents in the scales while pinning. [emoji22]

I'll get her honed tomorrow for the evening shave. [emoji6]

Nasty grind marks all along the edge. I don't know what people were ever thinking putting these to grinding wheels made for knives??:gth

Some bug bites along the edges of the scales, but a nice, albeit faded inlay worth saving. So going to try some more epoxy mixes, maybe even apply a bit of vacuum to this set, Will see how they look after some initial cleaning.
You're most welcome my friend.........anytime!!!!!!
