Thanks guys! I figured that I'd probably need a pin just to make sure.

Hey all! I've got a quick question here. I'm making a hunting/small bowie type knife with a full tang. The customer wants a guard on it, so I've decided to go with a slotted guard that slides on with one end open. I've heard of people fastening them with pins, jb weld, or solder. My question is do you think that jb weld will be enough to hold the guard on? Or should I put pins in it so that it has a mechanical bond as well... Thanks!

I'm going to have to drop out unfortunately... Time just got away from me. But there is always next time!

Lovely as always!

This is an awesome thread! I played around with gun building a few years ago, but never completed anything. Can't wait to see more from both of you guys!

This video may help.

Lovely! The leather wrapped scabbard is awesome!

Simply stunning!

Loving the WIP! That's some really nice work!

Very nice! It turned out great!

Those are really good! I'm especially digging the knives, but it is all great!

Really lovely!

Wow! That is beyond cool! I love it.

This is going to be great!
