Thread: Knife handles - questions for a super easy build

Arvo all - I got a cheap auction lot of gardening tools, and in the pile was a very old but super duper sharp curved skinning knife.
Handle is shot so I've cut it off and have wacked it in vinegar to start the rust removal process - I then run out of puff and left it in some old engine oil whilst I consider my next steps.
I just want to blast it back to good metal and wack a handle on it. There are 2-3 pin holes on the handle.

I've had a look on youtube and seen people spending ages making handles - I just want fast and functional - do I basically look for some hard wood, rip it to size - glue - pin - and then sand to shape ?
Anything else that I need to know? Standard araldite ok? And would stainless pins from a printer be ok for poor mans pins?
I don't understand the pinning process - do I need a metal that I can peen over or are the pins also glued in place?

cheers
