OK, my buddy picked up one of those BLADE knock offs...it is actually pretty cool...VERY heavy piece. I dismantled the thing to reveal what I already knew about the wanna-be tang setup.
So, here is what I have planned, and I want some opinions..
Cut the steel to the base of the sharpened material. Hone down the edges to high finish dullness, bore three holes 1.5 inches apart, and then handle with a closet-bar minus 1/4" removed by dato bit. Afix handle (6") with three allen sets and epoxy.
Should gie a 22" blade, and a six" full tang gaurdless handle.
