Great 1st post and 1st offering on Bladeforums!

Loving the blade shape.

A couple of questions if I may. How long is the tang? How is the handle fastened on?

Thanks!

 

[HeirloomCraftsman]

Thank you!

The tang is 3 1/2 inches, and I used Devcon 2 ton epoxy.

More like a Persian than a Bowie. Very cool!

 

[HeirloomCraftsman]

Thanks, and I agree now that you say that. I didn't have much confidence naming it to any one particular blade style.

 

[d.r.h.]

Very nice work!
