This answer covers a situation when the screws are too long after applying the handle material. If the screws are too long and protrude into the inside of the folding knife, they must be flushed off.

First, disassemble the knife. Apply the handle material to one liner. If the screws are protruding into the liner, they will need to be cut off. There are several ways to do this operation.

1.
Use the cut off wheel on a Dremmel tool. Carefully cut the excess screw length even with the liners.

2.
If you have a disk grinder, carefully lay the liners parallel to the disk and grind off the screws flush with the liner. Be careful not to tilt the liner and touch the disk on the edge of the liner. This will leave a mark on the OD of the knife.

3.
Mark the screws with a fine marker. Disassemble. Cut each screw to length, holding them with pliers, etc.
