I'm told that there is more than one method of doing these.
The method I have heard of is filling the void with an epoxy and then grinding down the backstrap.
The concerns I've heard and researched over this is separation or delamination.
Additionally I am told that the texture on these does not last.
Furthermore, although I am generally impressed with Robar and especially their NP3, my research indicated that Robar uses the fill and grind method and that their texture does not last.
Can you tell me what the other methods besides fill and grind are and which smiths are known to use other methods besides the fill and grind that I am clearly wanting to avoid?
Thanks.
