I didn’t well technically you can drill a hole into a micarta block for the tang. However, if you want to use the existing holes in the tang for the lanyard or the pin it gets tricky and you have to be very precise. So it’s easier to use two slabs of micarta, do some milling for the tang and drill the holes exactly where they need to be with modern epoxy’s power it’s not much of a difference, the handle will be very solid either way

thanks. I agree. I have tried making a hole for a tang, and it was very labor intensive. Your method moe bettah

I put a Snaggle Tooth on my Counterpoint XL and it works well. I can't open it one handed otherwise, even with large hands. Its a great product!

Cold Steel Recon Scout in 3V with ironwood handle. I thought about changing the original (cheap) guard but in the end only cut it down a bit. Looking at it now, a nice brass guard might have been a better choice ...

I used two slabs of ironwood. I milled out each piece for the tang and drilled the hole for the lanyard that did already exist in the tang. Both pieces were glued together with epoxy. I did add a brass rod to go through the lanyard hole.
