Narrow Tang Handle Clamp

[Samurai Stu]

Hi,

I know this may not be a new idea and it wasn't even mine. Some fellow bladesmiths loaned me the idea to prevent the stress of ensuring a tight clamp on stacked handles. It is so simple it's absurd. The picture speak for themselves. Hope you find it useful.

Here is the finished blade all gussied up.

Blade forged from 52100 with gun metal finish and decorative filing.
Handle stacked from African black wood, maple burl, verdite with brass shim and Formica spacers.
