I came across this Samson Dubina video the other day in replacing a handle. He boils his blade in water for X amount of time to soften the glue then he pops it off.
Has anybody tried this method? Would this damage the wood? Would it matter given only the handle is in the water? Would it be fine & back to normal once you let it dry out? Curious on your guy's thoughts.
Because I'm sure you've got to be wondering "Why are you looking to do this Suds?":
I currently play Cpen and would be interested in popping off the front side of the handle and replacing it with a index finger Jpen style cork finger grip. I find having that hook to grab onto allows more freedom and aggression when swinging freely on TPB so I wouldn't mind having it as an option.
PS: Yes I know there are Jpens that are two sided and would work also. And those could be an option but I already have some good CPens and I know there are penholders who have made some sort of mods like this in the past. Just not sure how they've done it.
