unless you can weld a tang onto it, it probably wouldn't be safe or sturdy.

Leave it open in the elements, it will rust in place.
Seriously, just buy a fixed blade. They are cheap and plentiful and come in a million varieties.

It might be easier to fix the knife, by messing with the screws or adding an extra washer to one side? I have made a neck knife from a folder blade but Drilling hardened steel can be tough and you need at least .5" between the pivot hole and the second hole to maintain even marginal rigidity with use.
