    Chopper/Fighter with some Crazy Koa!

    John, No they arent brazed or anything just epoxied together. The slot i have cut into them fit over the tang very tightly so they arent going anywhere! The actual guard is press fitted and epoxied on. I doubt the alignment pins add a whole lot of strength to the handle, because even then you...

Reason for those pins are if ya have to assemble and reasemble pieces as you go about shaping...
