Welcome to the Yard, Fred. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Some day I'd like to rehandle one just for the heck of it. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

One of the easiest ways to me, would be to file some notches in the tang and use pins/rivets to attach handle slabs. I've done that quite a few times in the past and it's always worked out great with other blades.
