Rehandle a victorinox?
Any insight will be greatly appreciated. I would like to put deer stag handles on this knife that I found in a convienet store parking lot. Do I drill out the pins and any clue as to what size they are, two different sizes? Are they rivits or can I glue and pin the handles on? They look to be spun brass. Or just take it apart and find out what I need. Or is it even worth it, I've never done this before but it looks like fun.

It shouldn't be hard.
My son did one just like it. It was the first slipjoint he had ever worked on and he did it by himself.
There is a sticky tutorial on taking apart a slipjoint and another on the 3OT.

Between the two of them you should be able to get the Vic apart and back together.
For the pin size; measure them with a caliper or a micrometer.
I get most of my pin stock at my local Ace Hardware.
If you don't have a pin spinner, just peen the pins.
