> I just acquired a factory knife, labelled WESTMARK #702. It looks like good steel, but, I can't find any information on the Internet about this knife. It has wood grips which have suffered badly from shrinkage, and it looks like the spacer between the grips and the butt cap have disintegrated, leaving a gap of about 1/16 inch. I was thinking about filling the spacer area with epoxy, then coating the wooden grips. What do you think of this idea? Can you recommend an epoxy that I might use to do this?
