    Wedge is built into One scale, and pin is very close to inside part of wedge. Suprised it isn't showing inside the scales.
    See why the glued them together now.

    MikeT and outback mike, i sent out goodie boxes today. I think you'll both find the contents useful. Thank you again for your kindness and generosity.

    P.S. outback, I'll probably be sending you something else soon too, I'm just behind on some projects I need to get done first.

    A guy deserves to get lucky every once in a while. When I first drilled out the end I only made it long enough to accept the hidden tang. I got thinking this burl would probably need a little more strenght so I decided to drill out the rest of the length of the handle and insert some threaded SS rod for extra strength. I already had some of the shaping done so I didn't have much room on the other side for error. I got lucky and hit dead center on the other end!
