Another DIY Dirk

[Erikm]

Many thanks to SirDaniel1975 for the idea

Had an old Hanwei Dirk Blade sitting around "The early version one"

Got some sculpy clay and made a handle, Then fit it to the tang and stuck it in the oven on 250 for 30 minutes. Not sure if it weaken the blade at all?

Sanded down and put some wood stain on it, now I am adding the brass buttcap.
The handle is still somewhat larger then what it should be, but not as bad as the monster 20' dirk that the blade came from..
