fat chance.....I got a few more in mind ....only takes about an hour an half start ta finish.

Karl.... ..had a nice burly cherry handle done till it split on the last blow with the hamma puttin the blade in....beech worked well.

1. take a flat metal file and cut it down to about 6" long, not encluding the point.
2. lay the file flat on your work bench...take a belt sander to the cutting ridges on both sides to smooth out .
3. ground to a half round on the nose of the file.
4.drill a hole in the end of your handle about the length of the point on the file.then drill another hole at an angle on both sides of the middle hole.
5.take the file and squeeze it in a vise...place the handle onto the point of the file and bang away[softly] till it bottoms out.
6. all done..bob's your uncle.

BOAT fish do count.
