WIP to pin or not to pin

[Gahagan]

Here is a knife I am working on I have tmp glued handles on for shaping. As I look at it I am not sure if I want to mess up the carbon fiber desighn by doing anymore grinding. Should I put a pin in the handle? Does it really need one. Please let me know your thoughts.

Hidden or carbon fiber pins (small ones) if you go all the way thru.

Love the design....

I find it hard to trust the epoxy without pins. You can get carbon fiber pins at a hobby shop. If it get's banged one time and a scale pops off, you'll be sick.
Great job by the way.

I could never trust just epoxy. Go hidden pins or carbon fiber.

I agree that a pin of some kind is always a good idea. I also agree that the handle looks really good shaped just the way it is.
