That was my plan! Happy I found that tubing, saves me a tonne of trouble. Depending on the tang width I may drill two holes and pin it, never pinned anything before, will I need any special tools? I have a file, and mild steel round stock to make the pins once I find out how to. I might just decide glass it in. Too many options without the blade in front of me but I like having options. Might put a "general idea" segment on my first post for now.
-Edit-
So, Karda, would you recommend I weld a small piece on to the tang then? Something to go all the way through the handle and peen over? Not quite sure I have a piece of copper large enough to use for a buttplate though.
Alright Karda! Thank you for that. I wasn't going to use it much, if at all. Purely a display piece that functions as well as looks good!
