THEN I BROKE OUT THE LADIES
I liked the Walter Davis the best after my friend Warren worked on the handle
The Bark River belongs to Carol and it's her favorite(and a DAMN good knife)
The Fehrmans were tested--Carol and liked the Smaller Last Chance better than the First Strike.

What a good way to spend the day
What did Warren do to fill in the bolt holes? Looks like colored epoxy? Whatever he did, it looks good, and I'm glad to hear you're enjoying 'er:thumbup:

Walter----
He used some type of Epoxy---I'm sure he will chime in.
Your knife out chopped all the others--and is an EXCELLENT value.
Thanks for making it Bro:thumbup::thumbup:

Looks like another fun day, Bill. Hard to believe that's the same Zeus that we saw this time last year!
Hey Walter,
Usually I like to do fills like that with acraglas gel as it retains a bit of a hard-but-rubbery characteristic and does extremely well with shock. However, since the handle bolts looked to be zinc plated, I knew it wouldn't adhere correctly so I just put some brown epoxy dye in a bit of JB Weld, and shaved the bolt heads down a tad so it would fully cover. Still more than 1/32" of slot left on all the heads, so PLENTY of underlying thickness so as to not compromise the mechanical strength.

Sounds like it's well done:thumbup: I never even thought about covering those bolts:foot: I just wanted the handles to be as secure as possible, but I may try that out
