This knife originally had a super-cheap plastic handle on it, but it began to crack and split. The solution was to remove the original handle and insert the blade into an ax handle I had laying around. It's not exactly practical, but it's something that's a lot cooler than what I started with. I've wrapped the junction point with paracord since this picture was taken. Ipod Touch for size comparison. Let me know what you think. :D

Decided to call it "Moby Stick."

I have something like that but the blade is full serrated. Handy instrument for what i use it for.

You could clamp that up for better retention with some heavy wire. :thumbup:
 
You're on one side of a fence, Zombies on the other. You can use that sort of like a Pool Cue on them all day without being in harms way. I've got a broken Ontario that I've been thinking about doing that with. It broke right at the original handle, so I don't have a tang to work with.
 
Put an axe head on it and then put the knife blade back on top. You'll have a Doomsday weapon.
 
Those big Frost folders with the non-functional liner locks actually make very decent fishing weights if they have a lanyard hole.
 
First hard downward hit with that harpoon and that blade will become a flying projectile. :p
 
That is a great mod for a crappy knife. On the other hand... I feel bad for the axe handle. But it looks like you should be able to get a bit of fun out of it, at least.
 
For those times when you want to cut things as a group, with everyone's hands on the handle, HFMO brings you... the Team Knife.
 
The power of 20 hands upon the handle swinging that little knife like a bat out of hell would be a very sight to see! :p
 
Your title makes me think of an epic whitewater kayaking waterfall drop in the movie Frontier. A kayaker has to be lowered via rope down this canyon to put in, and uses a 3 dollar serrated gas station knife to cut the line to his kayak. Of course he bails on the knife on the way down...
 
With the shape of that blade, I would have cut a groove and secured the back spine of the knife for a more secure hold. A couple of holes through the wood and blade might have secured it as a miniature ax head located below the top of the top the stick.
 
I made one of those as a kid but instead of an ax handle, it was a steel pipe. And of the other end was a sharpened slot screwdriver bent 90 degrees. Hah! I kept it under my bed just in case predator was looking for me.
