That's genius! Seen it done so many times before but kept forgetting it. :zombie-fighting: I have loads of those blades kicking around from a saw I bought ages ago, and been wanting a small carving knife for a while, so this looks like my next personal project.

How do you set the blades in the handles?

[Tony1948]

How do you set the blades in the handles? With Epoxy resin bud.

[Snooky]

Do you just cut a slot in the handle then? or do you have a way of putting a slot in the middle?

[Tigger004]

nice one, very practical

[Tony1948]

Do you just cut a slot in the handle then? or do you have a way of putting a slot in the middle?..No I drill a 1/4in hole in the middle of a 6in peace of wood then put the tang and epoxy in that and let it go hard,then shape the handle.

well, just come across this, I was going to ask if anyone had used those type of blades to do wood carving knives before.
just trying a bit of whittling at the moment on the path towards carving anything larger. 48 and trying something new, might be hope for me yet!!!
