ady-b 94 Report post Posted July 9, 2012 thanks guys after following advice from "midnight" and "gafer" off here Im going for a black buffalo horn handle. Then lots of polishing to get it all as scratch free as I can Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ady-b 94 Report post Posted July 9, 2012 Yes Matt I used some 3mm pins just to secure it , its glued aswell but thought it would help hold it all together with a nice tight fit. As for giving you a run for your money, I dont think you have anything to worry about, I wouldnt have a clue where to start when forging my own Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
