if someone explains to me how to make the damned knife then id give it a go but ive absolutly no idea....
A quick explaination for doing the knife.
1 You drill a hole through the length of the wood to take the tang of the knife blade.
2 You then glue the knife into the wood
3 Once the glue has set rock solid you shape the handle
4 Once shaped to how you want you finish it by soaking in something like boiled linseed oil
5 You then make a sheath for it.
6 You then start using it
Hope that helps out
But in all seriousness if you have a look on British Blades there's plenty of tutorials on how to fit a handle to a knife blade. It's not that difficult and you don't need lots of specialist kit, just some sandpaper different grits, some files and get going.
