What it looked like when I got it.


Making the top rondel. I made this from scratch and slightly larger than the bottom rondel.

And done. I used the original rondel for the front and gave it some file work and reused the original grip as it was actually pretty good timber.


The blade came with a threaded tang and I had a brass nut that fitted so a quick bit of file work and a polish and it does a reasonable job of hiding it. I peened the threaded bit as well. Unfortunately I nicked the rondel with the file.
