So when I actually built the knife, I took a steel sleeve and threaded it. I put the knife in the sleeve, which was machined to accept the tang, and then threaded that into the handle tube after putting some epoxy on the threads. Then I ran an 1/8" steel pin through the handle, steel sleeve, and tang of the knife, and out the other side to prevent any unthreading, even knowing full well the epoxy on the threads would prevent that. Then I filled the whole area with additional epoxy....
Sam, I think you have a little OCD going on there. So you're saying we can't take the knife apart to clean it?
