Very nice job on the knife.  Now you have to make a sheath for it!

Very nice indeed!  What did you use to set the tang in the handle?

Thanks for the compliments.Once I stacked the handle material and everything was glued I used a homemade vice and pressed down on it and let it set overnight.I might have to do a build along on one of these.
