    Nice job on the knife. I have made a few over the years after one that I bought had the blade break out of the handle. Tang was only about 12mm into the handle and no ferrule. Old spade bits make a good solid job as the drill shank makes a tang as long as you like. My current favourite is made from an old chisel that was too worn down to be used. I like a good hefty one.
    For such a simple tool I dont know why more people dont make them.
    Regards
    John
