So we just acquired all this horn and I got all excited and made my first WA handle. Without really thinking about it I knocked the handle off of my Toyama deciding it would be the first to get redone.
The Toyama tang is LONG fitting into the slot over 4 inches into the handle. My tang slot in my new handle is 2.5 inches deep. My question is should I chop this excessive tang to fit the handle? Or would that damage the structural integrity of the knife?
This would also probably throw off the hefty weight of this knife, which I like. I guess what Im really looking for is somebody else to tell me I should just make another handle for his knife now that o know what the tang looks like on this Toyama
