I'm going to be re-scaling a couple of antique shop blades. I was curious - does anyone do their pins flush to the handle instead of proud with a washer? The closest example I've found so far is this beautiful beast by Undream, but even though he used flush rivets, the actual pins are still peened onto washers.
I re-scaled this Henckels kitchen knife for my wife a few years ago, and the rivets are good and solid. I was just wondering if maybe it's not a good idea in such thin wood as razor scales.
Thanks,
