OK I guess I've been lucky so far. This is my fifth knife and by far the most problematic (see post on soldering lesson learned.) To get to the point- while I was grinding the handle the nut part of the loveless bolt fell off. I found it but its no thicker than a finger nail. A) I didn't drill the hole deep enoughto seat it , or B) the hole filled withe epoxy before I placed the nut in the hole. I was thinking, just glue it back on and "polish" it with stainless steel. But that doesn't seem very craftsman like. So I read somewhere that the bolts can be removed by heating the screw end with a soldering iron until the epoxy looses adhesion. Any thoughts on that?
The knife looks a little stubby. The blade is 3 5/8" and 8 1/8" overall, African leadwood scales.
