Handle Fitting Instructions: A step-by-step guide 1) Choose the right handle for the blade. Prepare the work surface and the equipment needed for fitting: the adhesive for wood/metal (we recommend using 2-component high viscosity epoxy glue), natural sealant resistant to corrosion, syringe, small sharp utility knife, sandpaper (optional), thin plastic card (similar to a credit card), a piece of cloth, oil/wax for wood care. 2) Check the initial fit, use a diamond nail file to make proper adjustments to the insertion hole so it fits your blade. 3) Use scotch tape to protect the area of the handle around the insertion hole. 4) Prepare and mix the adhesive; we recommend the use of 2-component high-viscosity epoxy glue. Other kind of adhesive can be used as well, make sure it’s suitable for wood/metal, high-viscosity is optimal as it makes the application much easier. 5) Fill the syringe and infuse the handle so there’s some excess glue coming out of the handle. 6) Insert the blade, make sure it’s straight in all directions and watch the excess glue so it doesn’t reach the unprotected part of the handle. 7) Carefully put the assembled knife down and wait for the glue to dry. The duration of the drying process depends on the type of glue you used, please see the instructions on the glue packaging. 8) Once the glue is dry, remove the scotch tape, take a small knife and clean the excess glue if there is any leftover around the fitting hole. Due to the structure of the wood, there’s a chance some of the glue poured out of the small holes on the handle, this is normal. Use the knife or high-grit sandpaper to remove the glue. 9) Use a natural sealant (resistant to corrosion) and fill any remaining gap between the blade and the handle insertion hole. For high precision use a plastic card/spatula to evenly distribute the sealant. Clean the leftover sealant with a cloth. 10) Final step: use oil or wax intended for wood care and apply it to the handle to achieve the final look. 11) All done, enjoy your new handle. |

Customer Reviews
Excellent and really fast service.
Sharp Edge hat das Messer mit viel Liebe zusammengebaut, eingepackt und versendet.
El mango llegó completamente roto y agrietado, mala instalación, un mango de más de 100€ más 10€ de la instalación y que llegue agrietado y roto no es normal, ahora si lo envío para reparar tendré que pagar los gastos de envío, sinceramente muy mala experiencia, no volveré a comprar más artículos
Dear Damian,
Thank you for bringing this issue to our attention. We apologize for the inconvenience caused by the crack in the handle. We're not sure how it happened, but this is certainly not the experience we want our customers to have. It's possible that due to temperature and pressure differences on the plane, the handle cracked during transport.
We understand your frustration and would like to make things right for you. We will arrange for a replacement of the broken handle and cover the shipping and refitting costs. We're not sure where you got the information that you would have to cover the return shipping cost. If there is product damage during transport, we cover those shipping charges. We will also follow up with you in a private email to further assist with the return process.
Thank you for your understanding.
Best regards,
Urban
Amazing delivery. They also go into the smallest details, like writing a note for each person and putting a band-aid on them if you don't know how to use a knife. Except for the taxes, which I didn't know would be so high, everything is amazing.
Hi Moshe,
Thank you for your kind review. You shouldn't been charged for the import taxes for your order since, as a part of our offer for our international customers, we cover all the import duties and fees.
Looks like we made a mistake when processing your order (likely due to the recent tariff changes in US), so we emailed you regarding this. Please send us a reply and we will issue a refund for import taxes you had to pay for.
I apologize for this inconvenience.
Grega
all ok!
