Help me fix this...knife
I bought this knife when I was 14 from a pawnshop and thought it was a cool throwing knife. Only to find out it wasn't and I broke the handle on it. Now I want to put it back together and not throw it anymore. Take a look at the pictures and tell me what you think? Should be a simple job. But before I screw it up I thought I'd ask some advice first. I need to replace some pins. Where do I get those? I need to glue it back together. What would you suggest I use?
Thanks in advance.

This is what it should look like.Attachment 75504

The pins would be available at ace, you'd have to cut them to length and mash the ends. Hard to suggest a glue without knowing what the grips are made of, probably gorilla glue.

I think they are plastic.

I usually use 5 minute epoxy, the two ton holding strength. For pins, if it had brass pins, you can use brass brazing rod found at a welding shop. They usually come in a 36"length, so you will have to cut and grind to fit. For stainless pinstock, or nickel, I order from Jantz knife supply.

Thanks. After I fix it and clean it up it should look like a sweet little knife again. I don't remember if it had a sheath but it doesn't now. Its just a wall hanger. But I have been putting it off for 25 years now and it keeps popping up when I am looking for something else. And I want to fix it before I loose anymore parts.

+1 for Epoxy. I would score the pins and scuff the surfaces to get good adhesion. I would also use clamps make sure they're compressed while it sets, then no more throwing ;)

That's funny. I was living in Englewood when I bought and broke that knife. I have real throwing knives now. Well balanced with no handles. Once I locate the pins I am going to epoxy it clean off all the old glue too clamp it and once its repaired I am going to polish back to its former glory. I will post a picture for others to see maybe inspire them to fix something they have been putting off for a long while.

I fixed it. Looks like hell. I will post a picture later. If there is any interest?

Post it up. I just saw this, would have been happy to help. If people have other knives they havent put together or whatever the issue is I would like to take a look! Always looking for odds and ends
