Best place for handle liners

A 1/2 ton press from harbor freight for $20 is all you need. The dies are from usa knifemakers.http://usaknifemaker.com/tube-flaring-dies-for-fastening-handles.html


Bill you're right that is the cheapest way to do them but I found that the press makes for a nice smooth even set. The key is to do the first side press just enough to set tension then flip the knife and do the other side just a bit more to even up the flares. Steady easy pulls will give a nice even flare very smooth and tight no splitting.

That's good advice. Good information.
