Good idea to use a pin, i hadn't thought of that because i'm going to use two component glue and it should be strong enough. Will not take anything off the original and try to make the new piece as fit as possible and fill the rest with glue and and ivory dust. Will take pictures during the process. Best regards Marc |

Hi
I find a pin useful in grafting parts not just for strength but it also center's the part in the same location each time when doing the shaping. If using epoxy 2 part glue be aware it does go yellow when aged, for this reason I use wood glue for these jobs which sets clear and is easier to incorporate particulate matter to colour the filled in bits. Wood glue is not as strong as epoxy but hopefully you wont be using the knife for its intended purpose and strength is not the main requirement. best of luck Ken |

First attempt to restore the handle, result is ok but could be better, the joints are a bit too visible. Didn't have much time and was a bit rushed. Maybe i'll try again.
Best regards Marc |

Nice job. That turned out well. What adhesive did you use?
Marc M. what is the board behind the daggers called? I have seen them used by Samali people as well. |

I used industrial super glue. It is a Quran board that children use to learn to write in the Quran school in Mali. Best regards Marc |
