wasn't sure where this went, so if it needs moved, that's cool

My father in law got me a knife kit for Christmas. It's pretty high quality too: D2 steel blade, buffalo horn handles, brass fixtures. It's gonna look sweet.

Except I have no idea how to put it all together.

Could somebody point me in the right direction on this project? Informational websites, or even a quick run down here of what to do in what order? I could probably muddle through on my own, but I'd like to do it right the first time since these are some quality parts

Here's a crappy cell phone pic of the kit:

Thanks in advance!
 
Looks to me like you need to shape the g10, tap the holes to put the pins in, then attach the bolsters. Nice little project!
 
There is a lot of good information over at the General Knifemakers Discussion. Read some of the stickies posted in Shoptalk. Your bolsters and blade have the holes drilled so you need to peen them in place and shape them (not necessarily in that order). You will need to cut and shape the scales. Drill holes and countersink them for your Corby Rivets. First thing though - get some tape and cover the edge.
