I purchased this WWI medical corpsman knife about a year ago with the intent of replacing the handle. There were two issues that I didn't fully understand when I purchased it.
1. The tang of the knife is tapered.
2. The original handle was made from a single piece of wood.
Overall before:
Showing the tapered tang.
Tang without the handle
I'm looking for some help with a plan of attack, order of operations, on building a new handle. I am planning on making it from two pieces. One of my main concerns would be fitting the tapered tang. Thanks
