head. I was trying out my new drill press and like always the little kid in me gets all excited. I drilled 5 holes in the tang, three for the pins and the other two as epoxy rivits. Well as you can see I drilled one of the hole meant for the epoxy rivet. So I thought maybe with two pins up on top and one in the rear it would look sort of cool. Well what do you guys think? I didn't want to waste the bocote scales and this one will be a Xmas Present any ways.

Drill another hole and even it out

I think the 2 and the 1 will look cool.

That's a bummer, but I agree with the other poster and maybe try to even it out with another pin. Those scales are not real cheap and I would try to recover them.

Good luck.

I never follow rules when it comes to pins and rivets. I like the 2 and 1 set up.

The 2-1 will look OK, I think. 2-2 may look crowded.

Well here it is almost done. I still need to finish of the edges and polish around the stamp area and sharpen her up. So what do yall think of the 2-1 knife.

 

[koyote]

[Stacy E. Apelt - Bladesmith]

Looks good to me.

I like it, glad you didnt do a forth. Also, if you decide to change your mind, I wonder if you can change the last one to a tube instead of a rod... but I like it the way it is.
