By John Allard<\/em><\/p>\n

The benefits of a custom handle are enormous! You can fit the tool to the exact size of your hand, creating a comfortable grip for a safe, enjoyable carving experience. You can also extend the life of a favorite blade if the handle has become worn or broken. Once you have crafted your own handle, try out your knife by chip carving a flower ornament.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n

To make your own handle, first select the wood you wish to use\u2014I used a piece of zebrawood because of its beautiful grain.<\/p>\n

Use either a coping saw or a band saw to cut out the handle. Then use a belt sander or wood files and sandpaper to smooth and shape it to size.<\/p>\n

Most carving blades are not full tang, meaning they have a short, flat extension into the handle. A full tang extends the length of your handle. Most Mora blades have a long tang, but I chose to cut mine shorter to about 2″ (5.1cm) long.<\/p>\n

Since the Mora blade is flat, I cannot just drill a hole and glue the blade in\u2014I need to mark the width of the blade on one of the ends of my handle (select a drill bit slightly larger than the thickness of the tang) and drill a few close holes along the line. Clean out the thin pieces of wood between the drill holes.<\/p>\n

Apply a thin layer of epoxy to the blade tang and a little down into the hole. Slide the blade in and wipe away any excess with a rag. Let dry. Add a coat of finish to the handle and strop the blade. Check for a secure git and no wobbling before you begin to carve.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n

\n

Create a template and trace the design on the wood running with the grain.<\/b><\/h6>\n

Make a handle from a simple piece of oak, or deck out a \u201cdream blade\u201d with a piece of exotic hardwood.<\/b><\/h6>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n
