archiphile Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 Hi all, I just ordered some steel and such I was wondering what y'all use for adhesives to affix your scales and where one might find rivets or some other method of attaching scales?

bnewberry Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 Epoxy is what I use. If the glue line is not visible (stick tang, hidden tang) I have used JB weld with good results so far. Otherwise I use a 30 minute epoxy. I like Corby bolts instead of rivets. I got them from Jantz knife supply, (http://www.knifemaking.com/Default.asp).

ThomasPowers Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 If you are interested in making knives you definitely need to get the catalogs of the various knife supply companies. We might be able to suggest a few if we knew what country you lived in! Most folks add it to their profile as *many* questions are location dependent.

archiphile Posted April 11, 2012 Author Share Posted April 11, 2012 @Thomas Powers: I am from New Mexico but I am living in New England at the moment. @bnewberry: Thanks I just found them. Incidentally one knife is going to some friends to enable them to slaughter their chickens with something that will hold and edge well. The second of the two is going to my son for giftmas.

Loneforge Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 I use two part Devcon epoxy and brass pin stock! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
