I have spares...

 

[WULF]

Thats a scary sharp looking bargain

 

[mountainm]

Only problem is I dont have a drill bit that long... Going to be a 2 piece handle.... Or maybe a push fit in some antler.

Looks good, what make is it as I can't find it on there website.

 

[GollIfanAteb]

it's a Lauri Hook Blade (M5121) & it's a fair way down http://www.moonrakerknives.co.uk/knifeblades.htm

How long is the tang?
I looked for long 2.5mm twist drills but 95mm was the longest I've found, so I've marked the tang out on the block, transfered the centre line to the centre at both ends of the block & drilled the tang's hole carefully starting from each end using a drill press (a Dremel one but better then nothing)

You have one then? Would love to see the finished article.

I dont have that blade, which is why I asked about the tang length, but I do have a puukko (carbon 95) & leuku (210), & the tang looks very similar to the puukko except that the hook knife has a square shoulder & have just assembled another puukko which is where I've done as I described.

 

[mountainm]

Tang is 12.5 cm ish...

The other option is to shorten the tang to the length that you can drill to & epoxy it. As is done here (http://www.britishblades.com/forums/showthread.php?26685-making-a-new-knife-(-my-way-)/page3) Post #35 on.

Or another option would be to do a fancy stacked handle.

Saw them at Knives UK still not sure what they are for

I cant see them hollowing very well as the blade is too wide and flat to turn up out
looks like a double edge hoof knife.

Settled for rebating it and doing a concealed tang between 2 corian scales with a single corian bolster. I'll pop some pins in to hold it all together.

Looks to me like the end will hollow ok and the flat will, well flatten, like a drawknife. But time will tell.

And here it is....

Will be shaped more as i use it.
