Hob&Jill 258 Posted January 1, 2009 Report Share Posted January 1, 2009 Anyone out there into making knives? Stick up some pics I wouldnt mind giving it a go, only with a ready made blade to start with. I want to make a hidden tang with a blade around 10cm. How to I actually go about getting the tang into the wood handle? do you drill a hole in the block then knock the tang in with epoxy on it to hold? Im just worried that as the tangs are tapered then the wood will split when its tapped in. Also when buying the 'spor' how do I know that its the right size for the knife blade? Would probs be easier to buy a kit but I just wouldnt find that fun, I want to pick the blade, handle seperately. HJ Quote Link to post Share on other sites
