Does anyone know how to re-scale (re-handle) a
folding lockback ?

I finally found some yellow delrin to rescale one of my
many lockback folding hunters and am about ready to
jump into the project but I don't want ruin one of my
better knives learning.

Why Yellow delrin?

I collect yellow handled knives and the one knife I don't have
is lockback folding hunter in yellow so I want to make one.

Anybody able to help??

You might try epoxy glue. I have used it to put slab handles on a fixed blade (along with rivets). One thing I did was mix a little flour into the epoxy, just a bit. It will color the epoxy to something that looks more natural. It has a kind of yellowish tint so it might go well with the yellow handle material you mentioned.

"The Complete Book of Pocket Knife Repair" by Ben Kelly, Jr. is a good read with a lot of useful information. You can find it pretty cheap ($11 -$12) on the web.
