fixing a pommel
As a newbie I have very little experience in knifemaking and would like to hear any advice on fixing pommels. Although I have not finished my first knife yet, I am thinking of my next knife and how I would like it to look. I am hoping to make a small drop point style knife with beach handles, a brass guard and I was hoping to make a brass but cap to finish it off. The tang I am planning will be mortised and so will not go right through the handle so I can not use a nut. I am hoping for a nice chunky, shaped brass pommel and a black spacer. Any sugestions on the best way to fix the pommel to the handle.
Thanks in anticipation John __________________ Gold is for the mistress - silver for the maid - Copper for the craftsman cunning in his trade. "Good!" said the Baron, sitting in his hall But iron - cold iron is master of them all. Rudyard Kipling (1865 - 1936) |

Other then lack of material for the tang,is there any reason why one couldn't do a mortised handle that allows for the tang to pass through to the back and allow for a pommel to be screwed on?
