Step 1: Preparing Materials Once you have received your materials lay them out on a clean surface. Unsheathe your blade and cover the sharp section of the blade in Masking tape.

Make sure to leave an eight of an inch of extra room so you don't cut away too much material. That will be done on the sanders. Step 2: Drilling Pin Holes Knife handles come with predrilled holes. These represent where you can insert your pins and the size of pin you can use. Hopefully you ordered the correct size pin. If not you could drill larger holes using the Metal Drill Press.

Tape your two scales together and then tape tape your blade handle ontop. Mark the spots on the scales where the pins will go. You should drill the two scales together, so that you know the pin holes will line up. If you don't do this step correctly, you will have a challenge assembling your knife.

Next choose the drill bit just slightly larger than your sellected pin. Clamp down your Scale and drill a straight vertical pin hole. Drill hole nearest the blade first, drill hole at opposite end, and then drill center hole last. Now repeat with your second scale. If your Knife came with Rivets instead of pins you must countersink your hole to the desired Depth. You can use a caliper to determine the size of the rivet head, which represents the size of the countersink hole you must drill.

Before you move onto Epoxying your blade together. Shape and sand the section of the scale that will touch the sharp edge of the blade. Once Epoxied, this section is difficult to work on the sanders without damaging the sharp edge of the blade.

Finally Epoxy the other half of the handle scale and connect it, over the extruding pins to the other side of the metal handle. Once all the layers have been epoxied take two clamps and clamp the knife handle together.

Check the time and let sit for at least 5 minutes. If there epoxy has squeezed out onto the front metal of the knife you can remove it now before it dries. After the epoxy has cured you can remove it from the clamps and move onto sanding the blade into shape. Step 5: Sanding your blade handle into shape. Now you are ready to create the shape of your knife handle.

Plan out the flow of how you want your knife to be shaped. Do you want it to be a wide Knife handle or a thin knife handle. Will it have sharp edges or no edges at all.
