Mix and apply a thin layer of two-part epoxy to the fl at area between thebolsters on the knife body.
Place one scale on the epoxy and repeat this process on the other side. Clamp the two scales until the epoxy has cured.
Use a scroll saw or band saw to cut off the excess scale material that extends beyond the knife body. Carefully cut just outside the edge of the knife body.
Cover the exposed knife body surfaces with masking tape to prevent scratches. Then use a rasp and sandpaper to remove any excess material and shape the scales.
Finally, apply multiple coats of a wipe-on polyurethane or a drying oil fi nish. Let each coat dry before applying the next coat.
