Hi Nathan! Thanks for all the hard work!
Are the wooden scales on the DEK1's epoxied onto the blades? I was thinking that I might remove my wooden scales on mine since I plan to EDC it to keep them looking like new and just mount them for special occasions when I want to show them off. Is that a bad idea even though I am very capable of removing them? I use my Hot-Air Rework station to heat the Loctite and protect the scales with Kapton tape.
Maybe I should just collect it and buy another DEK1 next month to EDC...
We used to epoxy them to the tang but not since we moved to the thicker micarta liner, it holds them pretty well.
