Two vs One Corby Fastener - Opinion?

[J. Keeton]

Has anyone tested these two handle configurations?

I'm currently building handles with 2 Corby fasteners in the front most and rear most pin locations. I was wondering if a design with 1 Corby in the middle and 2 straight (Non-Peined) pins in the front and rear is still a solid handle construction for a utility knife.

Open to Opinions... Just something I was thinking about today.



Thanks for any input,
JK

That will hold fine.

You do not even need a corby if you use two pins.

Two will be better. If the scales ever decide to warp, the single Corby scenario could allow some likt on the ends. I regularly use two and a mosaic, and on larger handle three Corby bolts.

Thanks for the help! I'd like to sleep well at night! Just didn't know if it was overkill or not.
