My rubber handle cracked a little

[Zombie Zeke]

Is there any way to fix the Respirene C handle of a B11 once its torn? There is a little spot on the hilt that I don't want to get any bigger, its about the size of a 1/8th inch diameter now.

Can you dab it with Gorilla glue to stop it?

i think duct tape and/or gorilla glue can fix anything.

I have heard that you can apply some direct heat to the ResC handle to make it soft and apply direct pressure to seal up small cracks/tears. I have never done it myself so be careful. You might want to try the question out on the Scrap Yard forum at http://www.scrapyardknives.com/ubbthreads/ubbthreads.php?Cat=0 as they are ResC fanatics over there.

I have used my DMLE for throwing and that has the same "Basic" series handle. Cracked it a little when I hit the butt end first against the tree a few times... just take a lighter and warm up/melt the part that's cracked then merge it together with your fingers. It won't necessarily look pretty but it gets the job done. It worked for me, good luck.

you can also just call the shop, or send an email.

Ask them first. The handle is also covered under their warranty!!!!


Heck, I am hoping B11 handle will give up the ghost some time so I can send it back in and ask for a tan res c handle like on the Dogfathers!!!!!

Tiny bit bigger!

The shop is always the first place you want to try.

They will replace the handle for you at no cost.

Perfect and Cool, thanks.

Call me a sissy but I don't want to be without my B11 for any period of time, so I will wait until it becomes a bigger issue then call the shop, the black handle of my DFLE would look nice on this one.

wonder if the shop could put a micarta or g10 handle on a B11?

I'm sure with enough time and effort, anything can be done. The hard part is it wouldn't be a full tang handle, but rather a hidden tang, which takes a lot more effort to make it look good and sturdy/solid. If it is just a small mark, I would go with a simple repair like filling it with some "GOOP" or other similar adhesive/sealant.
