I have only ever done one hidden tang knife and i used black buffalo horn for the bolster. to create the hole i drilled a couple of pilot holes with a smaller bit and then used diamond finishing files to remove the rest, it took a long time
Well i am wanting to do some brass bolsters and do not have access to a mill so i am looking for ideas. i was planning on using my drill press again for pilot holes and then hand files but those diamond files would take forever so i would need better files that i cant seem to find. The tang on the knives are .630" wide by .188" thick
any ideas ?
thanks
