Hi folks,
I've had a couple minor hiccups with a handle install, and would appreciate advice!
First issue, the machi is uneven:
Second issue, the tang is slightly too wide. This is as far as the handle will freely move:
My instincts are saying to use a metal file to correct the machi and the tang. My other thought is to file the inside of the handle to accommodate the tang, but I honestly don't like this option for ebony wood. Any suggestions? Alternatives?
This is my ideal outcome (only with the smaller handle):
Thanks in advance!
