Handle on Knife

[AFCOP82]

I want to put a handle on my REKAT Hobbit Fang (see pic). I want to add G-10 scales to the skeleton handle but I am not sure how to secure. Do I need to drill additional holes? Is there a way for me to secure the scales with screw type fasteners? Any assistance is greatly appreciated.

If you position the screws at opposite edges of the outside holes, you can.
You will also need to position screws at the outside edges of the other holes.
Or, you can make spacers to fit inside the handle holes, and drill through them.

Thanks. I thought that might be the best way but wanted to get everyones elses opinion.

Nah... just glue them with epoxy! That said, what Bill suggests seems like a great idea. craft some round pieces of G10 and work on them untill they fit into the round holes of the handle. Then drill trhough them and glue them to one side of the handle.

im always wary of using just epoxy, i would secure it both ways.

Epoxy is the easy way to go I used it on my folders is never let me down. yet to have a scale fall off.I roughtly shape the scale and do the finishing on the knife leaves a clean finish no screws or pins needed but alot of people like the pined or screwed look
