Kitchen knife handle replacement/repair

Got a 20+ year old JA Henkels santuko knife that the handle has finally cracked and broken off. They wont/cant repair. Still waiting to hear about a replacement knife under warranty. If they wont warranty it it wont hurt my feelings as 20+ years, the knife owe's me nothing.

Anybody on here that builds knives think they could make me something to replace this? Would need to drill rivets out, make new handle, and some way to attach it...maybe a machine screw and recessed nut type setup. I dont know how their original rivets are done. Maybe a material like G10 for the handle.

I did some google searching with no real source of somebody who readily does this, even though it seems to be a "common" problem with knives like this(not just Henkels knives).

Gunsmithing OPS Ring Screws Help

Hi, all. Need some help finding appropriate replacement screws for some OPS rings. They are 8-32 torx screws, but the head diameter is about .210” wide and there is very little tolerance in the holes for much larger diameter heads. A screw from a current Leupold ring with a .225” diameter head will not fit, for example. Anyone know if leads for the appropriate size screws? Thanks in advance!

It’s not

"Trump, a Republican who won a second term in the White House promising mass deportations, is expected to declare illegal immigration a national emergency when he takes office on Jan. 20 and draw on resources from across the federal government to support a wide-ranging crackdown.
The U.S. Department of Homeland Security estimated some 11 million immigrants were in the U.S. illegally as of January 2022, although the figure is likely higher today. In the NBC News interview, Welker asked Trump if his plan was to deport everyone without legal status.
"I think you have to do it," Trump said. "It’s a very tough thing to do. You know, you have rules, regulations, laws."

My 427 blower motor project.

I really miss building race cars and race trucks...cool project and tech. I remember playing with some of the early stand alone PCM's that you had to program through a wired controller. Super slow to program and play with. I never did any big blown cars but I was friends with a great cylinder head machinist that had a blown alcohol powered rail car for the vintage drags. He did a lot of work for the vintage NHRA guys and helped me a ton over the years.

The meanest car I ever did was a twin turbo fox body Mustang for a customer. It was only a 9 second car with a full interior and A/C. He had a giant speaker box in the back of the car too. It was fun running it on drag radials on the street and carrying the front tires across an intersection. I was more into road race and off road race stuff than going straight. I still appreciate big power and going to the drags.

The scariest cars I ever drove were an original Sunbeam Tiger with a 260/289 and Dan Gurney's Supra with a massive single turbo and a lot of work. I just drove the car but did not know what all was done. They had it tuned down to 25# of boost to drive it on the street. That old Tiger scared the shit out of me. It was way too light in the ass and liked to leave the ground on subtle elevation changes. Cool for the time period I guess.
