What is used to attach the Bark River STS series handles?

[jsocks]

Hi, I've been reading the forums for a couple months now, but this is my first post.

I just purchased a Fällkniven S1 blade blank and I'm looking to make a handle for it. I'd like to make the handles removable so I can change them easily and don't have to worry about epoxy in temperature extremes (i.e. cold weather or dipping my blade in boiling water to sanitize).

Being a beginner, I'm not really about what to use to attach the handles. I noticed that the Bark River STS series has removable handles. I think they look a lot more comfortable and appealing than the Becker series.

Does any body know what is used? If so, do you think you could let me know how and where to get them? (pictures would be useful if you have any)

Thanks in advance for the help.

Perhaps one of these style fasteners will work for you. http://www.texasknife.com/vcom/index.php?cPath=52_36_622
If your not going to use an epoxy, I would suggest using a liner of some sort that will have a little 'give' to it to promote a better seal against your handle scales--a knowledgeable knifemaker here might tell you different--and certainly better,

Neoprene gasket material works great for that application - that's exactly what it's designed for
