If there is a machi on the tang it will look nicer and make the job easier.Like marko said,Hoss's handles are hidden tang.Hey! that does sound like a cool project do you mind if i steal it?
Itou has some on jck. They are labled as Mr Itou slicer single bevel edge designed for right hander. Though I wish there were more angles on the picture like maybe spine and choil and the bevel side. http://www.japanesechefsknife.com/Page3.html
Here's a Wa to Yo conversion on my Tad.This is a Hoss inspired hidden tang,and my first attempt at a hidden tang.The wood is ironwood burl and a brass bolster.
Looks great, Mario -
