I repaired a Remington Bullet folder a few years ago and found the pins to be the biggest hurdle, due to the fact they can't go all the way through like on a fixed blade. No issues with going pinless on your folders or were those pinless to start with? They sure look good. That post oak is stunning!

That pic of the mesquite reall doesn't do the wood justice. Here it is in a sheath I made for it. ![[Linked Image]](https://texashuntingforum.com/forum/pics/userpics/2019/12/full-65674-212626-image.jpeg)

When I'm wandering in the woods I've tried many gadgets to deal with the tangled mess. I finally settled on a medium cheap Bowie. A machete is too comber some. Here are 2 cheap ones I use. Both are post oak. ![[Linked Image]](https://texashuntingforum.com/forum/pics/userpics/2019/12/full-65674-212627-image.jpeg) ![[Linked Image]](https://texashuntingforum.com/forum/pics/userpics/2019/12/full-65674-212628-image.jpeg)

No issues with going pinless on your folders or were those pinless to start with? They sure look good. That post oak is stunning! I forgot to respond to this. Use a good(I use loctite) fresh epoxy and prep the blade and scales and they'll stay on. I'm not saying the scales won't ever come off but most knife companies make a knife with glued on scales and no pins. ![[Linked Image]](https://texashuntingforum.com/forum/pics/userpics/2019/12/full-65674-212749-11092tsra.jpg) These are glued on also.
