I have a pice of sheet steel, so I designed a knife to make out of it. The drawing is a little crummy; I'm no artist. Anyway, the handle is a coke bottle style, here's the link to make one. cokebottlehandle
As you can kinda see in the bottom of the drawing, the knife tang widens out a bit. Don't really trust epoxy that much. And brass will be brass. On the same link, if you hit the back button, it will take you to more tutorials. I am putting a "Half penny" style Quillion guard.
Hope you like it,
