Our handles are designed with larger holes to accommodate the hot glue fitting method. This approach offers several benefits: the tang requires minimal heating, as hot glue melts at just 90 degrees, ensuring that the knife’s tempering is not compromised. Additionally, this method makes it easy to remove the handle in the future; simply cover the handle in a plastic bag and place it in boiled water for a few minutes.
