So today I went balls to the wall with a grinder, belt sander, file and some oak stain to transform the blade of a shitty budk machete into a solid full tang bowie knife. The blade was shoddily tig welded to a hollow handle and broke off as expected with little effort. Soon I will get some proper pins and affix the scales on like they should be and then proceed to polish and lacquer this piece.
I ground down over a third of the overall blade to a solid full tang handle with a subtle sub-hilt. The tail end of this piece will have a lanyard hole drilled through it and the scales will receive a polished sanding probably with finger grooves.
