4 inch Drawknife Build Image 9

The handles are drilled out with a 7/32" bit from the ferrule end. This is for an approximately 1/4" tang. No glue is needed once you drive them on they aren't coming off unless you break them. Sharpen with progressively finer stones and as needed rub in a good bit of boiled linseed oil into the handles and onto the blade to prevent rust. If used on fresh or wet wood clean it up and reapply the oil. If you use other nondrying oils such as mineral oil or WD40 this oil could rub off on your project and effect the finish. Use only Boiled linseed oil.
