Come on Jericho, you've been here longer then me and even I know Crash no smrt.

[nell67]

smart a** maybe!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[crashdive123]

I'm shocked! Shocked I tell ya!.............Well maybe not.

[nell67]

I didn't think you would be!See,it takes one to know one,or so they say!

[trax]

I heard a rumor once that Crash was smart, but it turned out that Crash had started the rumor and he only did it because he was tryinng to be smart. Personally, I'd never try that.

You mean it was just a rumor???!!!???

Crash,did you wash your hair this morning????

[crashdive123]

yep.....can't do a thing with it.

[nell67]

Don't worry about it,just about the time you get ready to wash it again,it will look fine.

[crashdive123]

I've noticed that.....especially since I've had it cut.

Hey,you got the Nell look going on there,nice cut!


But you have a little too much color,gotta get some grey going on then it will be perfect.

It looks like Crash is going for that 80's punk look.

The easiest thing to do is, Drill out a piece of Antler< Epoxy, And where the blade and antler come together, Wrap with a piece of rawhide, Gives it that backwoods homemade look. And if necessary this can be done in the wild. And it looks COOL.

i would make a 2 piece wooden handle, dry fit, test grip, drill 2 holes for riveting purposes, , use epoxy to seal and attach, and re apply epoxy into holes and rivet tight. seal handle and buff it. thats how i would do it, and have done it with a cheap survival knife. hope it helps.

Bringing an old thread like this back to the light is always a good idea. Somebody that reads it will benefit from it, and new information will often be added. I just hope that the OP got it re-handled in the last three years.

[nilespathfinder]

in a little less words , thats exactly what im talking about guys, lol. wow, i be damned.

The thing I find is that people frown on just glue/epoxy. Well, blades have been glued into handles since the very first chipped flint blades.

Two Ton epoxy is stronger then any task you would survive performing.

[nilespathfinder]

i would agree with ya winter

Be careful of you apoxy choice. Some glues are water soluble. I had run out of my normal 5 min apoxy I normally used and switched to Gorilla Glue for one knife...... Worked great for years until one day I threw the knife in the water pail after gutting a fish with the intentions of washing it with the dinner plates. 30 mins later I did the dishes and the blade just slid right out of the handle.
