I don't know if there is a tutorial for that here on AAPK or not, but Tony Bose has one on his website: http://boseknives.com/lanyard-tube/. There are a lot of other good tutorials to be found within the links on Tony's site and since he truly enjoys sharing knowledge, I'm sure he won't mind the reference.
thanks J W for your inputknives-are-quiet wrote:I would think it would depend on the knife in question and your personal preference.
If the lanyard tube will act like a pin to hold the handles on then they should be installed like pins but flaring the tube like a trumpet instead of fattening a pin by hammering it .
You can leave them stick up like spun pins or rivets or sand them flush.
I install mine by hand with a hammer.
You can use a brake line flaring tool with the same results as Tony Bose useing a vise and spinners.
If the tube is going to be just a hole for cordage then using epoxy would be sufficient.
