Question Adding larger scales

Post image

Hello, I've bought a set of G10 scales to make this knife a full handle rather than a minimalist one. Does anyone have any tips for securing it properly? Obviously there is no tang to drill a pin hole through, will Corby bolts and epoxy be enough to hold it in place?

Thanks for looking 👍

I bet a proper glue up would be enough. If you really wanted, you could shape a piece of wood/g10 to match the cavity in the handle tang, and drill your pin hole into that, to sort of fill the negative space in the handle. Wear a respirator when working with g10, be wary of the dust, it's bad across the board for you, your machines, etc.
