Knife Handle 101 pt 3 enclosed and riveted tang.

A different style of blade tang. 3/4 tang encased in hardwood and pinned.
This just happens to be a rice cutter/scythe with an extended tang that I welded on to give it more strength when battling blackberries. The same approach can apply to many blade tangs.
It's now all glued up, resanded, varnished and sharpened. Oiling the blade makes cleaning off any plant residue or sap much easier.
Spring is here in Tasmania and weeds grow quickly !
