To Rivet or Not to Rivet, That is the Question...

[Guyon]

Getting ready to order my Pete's custom.

I'm going with BG-42, stag, fingergrooves, brass bolsters. As for rivets, I'm curious. How exactly does PCKS attach the scales in the absence of any rivet, bolts, screws, etc. Are the scales simply glued on?

I like the look without the rivets, but I wouldn't mind them if the scales would be more durable.

I had the same question. Here are a couple of previous threads on this topic that I found:

I am also curious whether the glue that they use has been tested at low temperatures. If my knife is carried in the outer pocket of my parka during the winter, I wonder if that would adversely affect the adhesive. I doubt that it would though.

Thanks for the links, tarsier.
