I did this a couple years ago with a Khukri. Here are a couple of sites that I found pretty helpful.

and

https://www.brisa.fi/portal/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=20&Itemid=15&limit=1&limitstart=0

Here are a couple of pictures of the end result (though I later cut off the exposed portion of the tang with a dremel.) It's not the prettiest thing in the world, but it's comfortable and (so far, at least) durable.

Hope some of that is useful.
