Mark , how did the re-mount of the tulwar blade work out ? 
Nice and snug now ? 
 
The grip scales on my karud are as tight as when they were placed there some 150-200 years ago .  
They were applied with mastic and rivets . 
I have seen some examples of loose grip scales but usually these are on knives/swords that depended solely on rivets to hold them on , many of the scales being wood .
