    what I did here was took blades to a water jet cutting out fit and got them to water jet the tang so a lot smaller than supplied by Tanka San - then shaped antler -into boiling water for 10 min and tapped blade into antler ( center becomes soft ) - used dremel beforehand to inlet antler and once blade in used a strong resin to seal antler around blade -should last -if one goes to Google and searches Matsubara blades Omura Japan Tanaka San there is a video of him in workshop hand forging knives - very old fashioned craftsman
