Knife re-handling advice?

[hyperion 122]

try and get some in the hole and all over the tang of the knife

 

Done! the epoxy seems very rubbery though, never used it before, take it it will harden overnight and then I can sand it off the handle and blade?

[waidmann 105]

it comes off quite well when still tacky ( not quite set/rubbery)

i would get it off lol

[hyperion 122]

Finished

 

 

 

 

and after a coat of oil

 

 

 

 

 

and the heath robinson sheath repair, an old dog collar trimmed to make a loop and whipped on, with lost ends, with some nylon cord

 

 

 

 

 

Cheers for all the help guys
