ADJUSTING THE OPENING
You will need to adjust the opening accordingly for the tang of your knife. To fine tunes the opening I recommend using a rasp or a file.

INSTALLATION
I highly recommend using epoxy to install my handle. The tang heating method is not suitable for this type of construction because the bonding is made from epoxy. The high heated temperature of the tang can soften the glue and cause breakage. Of course feel free to contact me if you want some help!
