Hey /diy/...
Im thinking about buying a knife blank and making my own handle for it. I have quite a bit of experience with metal and woodworking, but never made anything like this.
I was hoping some of you might be able to give me some tips, maybe point me towards some good tuts, on making a hidden tang handle.
Thanks!

It's not too hard. Here's one I've made.
Look on youtube, there are shit loads of videos that do this.

Take a look at Walter Sorrels videos, he gives a great introduction to knifemaking.

will look him up, thanks. Figured Id start by trying to make a handle before taking on actually smithing a full blade.

I hate his videos. The music he plays.
Trollsky is the best.

You shouldn't start with smithing. Stock removal is the better way for a beginner to get there.

His machete and tactical knife videos just give good basics for a beginner in my opinion
