I’m looking for a way to attach removable scales and am kind of at a loss. I’m think something similar to how ESEE attaches their handles scales. I’m pretty sure that consists of a threaded coupler or barrel nut to sit in the tang holes, and a couple torx screws for either side of the handle to hold the scales on. Pretty straight forward. I suppose I could just thread the tang holes to the Torx screws thread size, but that seems like a lot of work and I’d only have a small piece of threading for the screws to engage.
So, what are you guys using and how do you use it? I’d like to find something that works well and isn’t too expensive. Preferably for 1/4” tang holes.
It seems to me like the availability of handle hardware is severely limited. I can find all types of small and tiny screws, bushings, and whatnot for folders. But in terms of screws/bolts to attach scales to fixed blades, I’m at a loss. My tang holes are usually 1/4” so it would be ideal to find hardware that would work with that. I kind of feel like anything smaller than that wouldn’t be adequate for larger, hard use fixed blades.
