New question(s) about the use of Nickel/Silver
This thread is about the same knife I was talking about in my previous thread about finishing Nickle/Silver. On this particular knife in the picture below there will pins in the N/S bolsters and pommel of this knife and they will be peened . When they are installed. (Sorry about the lousy pic!)
I kind of had in mind to epoxy them before peening!
Is that the best way or should I plan on soldering them? Something I just read in another thread made me question if I should be soldering them.
My thoughts are that the angled edges of the bolster and pommel to the jigged camel bone, won't allow for sliding the camel bone in afterwards. So I feel like I am not going to be able to solder because of the heat factor against the camel bone handles.
Therefore epoxy would be the logical choice to use when attaching the bolsters and pommels. Does that sound right to the rest of you? This is a new process for me but I felt like it was something I wanted to try and achive. Now I have questions as too if I am heading in the right direction!
