What can I fill the gaps on my older Western knife handles, especially by the bolster area where it seems the wood has dried away? Is an epoxy the best bet as a filler? Or maybe silicon caulking?
Here are some images of a 1950s or so German knife with the gaps I'm experiencing. Images include views from the spine andfrom the edge.
The last image is very interesting as it shows the V grind very well, although the focus is not quite perfect. The spine thickness is only 2mm.
