Triple-T Tuesday #1 - About Me / Hidden Tang Handles 

Glad to have you along!

For a hidden tang knife you drill through the wood with the tang in place, then when the drill touches the tang, remove it and drill through the rest of the wood. Then go back and drill the hole in the tang separately, usually with a drill bit that’s a size bigger. If you try to drill through both the wood and tang in one shot, you can flex the drill bit and widen the hole in the wood. After you have the hole in the tang, use a countersink bit to put a chamfer on the hole. This provides a place for the epoxy to go. Make sense?

@@TyrellKnifeworks Yes, thanks for clearing that up for me.

Thanks! Great to have you along!

I’m happy you got something out of it! I like that Damascus blade you just did so time for a handle now. 👍

Hello fellow Canadian! Welcome to the channel! 👍

Yup, I’ve made that decision many times. That’s one reason I prefer hidden tang knives. 😉

Thanks for watching!

Thanks for watching!

Thanks for going back in the video library!

Yup, that’s what it’s for. Thanks for watching.

Haha! I can’t say I do any coding any more but I certainly have coded in the past. I run a UI platform group so it makes sense that I like to make pretty things. 😜

@@TyrellKnifeworks Yeah my "coding" is just scripting in Powershell and Batch for automation purposes and some classes in BASH scripting...

If you mean drill bits, I exclusively use the Cle-Line bits now. They certainly outlast the Dewalt and Milwaukee bits by 2 or 3x. Thanks for watching

Thanks, I’m pleased you are getting something out of it! 👍
