Good to see those photos back Larry. Period knives are a niche style but there must be a buckskinner out there that needs a nice knife like this.

How is the handle attached? I see the pins but do you use epoxy or what. I assume the handle is a nice air tight fit? thanks and keepem sharp

I clean the inside of the bone, score(rough it up) and use two part epoxy unless a purest ask for pine resin or similar. I pre-drill the pins dry, rough them up then put them in when the epoxy is wet. I have never had one returned for any reason.

Thanks for asking
