Re: Low Tech Shield Replacement
Thought of something else that would look great in some clear epoxy in there. A mini fishing swivel or even better, some bright colored flies like used for fly fishing. I don't know much about fly fishing but I know that some flies are really small and they are often awesome looking little pieces of art.

Great quick-fix! SCH17TY reminds me of a clever VA license plate describing a beater car or truck.
Pocket, fixed, machete, axe, it's all good!

Re: Low Tech Shield Replacement
That's a great idea! I've got a couple Bokers that need shields that I think will get the epoxy cure!

Re: Low Tech Shield Replacement
Hi guys,
Had something I thought I'd add to this topic. I have been accumulating some pins to decorate my next "Tee-Box-Showcase" viewtopic.php?f=2&t=62229 & I thought I'd post some pictures of them here just as an idea for replacement shields. They would probably only work on larger knives or you would need smaller pins. Anyways, here are a few pictures for whatever it's worth. I threw in 2 pictures with a small case trapper & an Imperial so you can get a better idea of the size of the pins. Like I said, it would probably only work for larger knives. It's just an idea. Oh, and they are laying on a nut because they still have the pins on the back of them. The Ford Thunderbird pin would probably work the best from the height & the Peterbilt pin looks the best but it's about 1.5 X the size of the case shield. The Jeep is also about 1.5 X the size of the Imperial shield. The pictures aren't very good, sorry but you get the idea.

Re: Low Tech Shield Replacement
Had that done to a Camillus 23 (big knife) for Tommy.
None of these are the epoxy thing. All are just pins or tie tacks. Come to think of it, all of these are Glenn's creations.
And Glenn did that on a knife he did for a relative.
Glenn also did a tie tack shield for me.

Re: Low Tech Shield Replacement
Cool, so it does work well! That's the same type of Ford Thunderbird pin that I have. Thanks for posting Jerry! Now I know the idea was a good one. At least for larger handles.

Re: Low Tech Shield Replacement
I probably shouldn't have posted those Tom, because Glenn mounted those shields in the traditional manner but he did a stellar job of it.

Re: Low Tech Shield Replacement
I don't want these pins anymore. I am going to start posting them on eBay starting this spring/summer. I'll give you guys first, pre-posting, dibs on them. These would make GREAT, LO TECH SHIELD REPLACEMENTS. There is quite a varied selection. Click here to view: viewtopic.php?f=31&t=64722#p776098

Now that sure sounds interesting!orvet wrote: ↑Tue May 28, 2019 10:36 pm Something else that might look good in that slot would be crumpled up tin foil then cover that with a clear resin or epoxy.
There was a brand of tobacco pipes made in Italy called Camminetto (sp), and they used a round hole with crumpled tin foil in it covered over with a clear resin of some sort. It looked like a diamond inlaid in the stem of the pipe.
