How to make a hilt
can anyone suggest a good book on knife making, what I am looking for is something that gives good coverage of making the hilt and bolsters etc.
I am a dab hand with metal, however you cant weld wood its bloody silly material but hey you really have no choice as a hilt material ;-).
I am looking to buy a blade blank and fancy having a go at making the hilt, but I want to end up with a usable tool not just a ornament.
I have seen lots of tutorials for blanks with full tang but nothing for the blanks available for a sgian.
Any advice greatly received.
