Greetings from a fellow Okie

yes it is a hidden tang, planning on doing a burn in handle. 

I think that's what I'll end up doing, going to metal supermarkets and getting a round bar

thanks!

Near Oklahoma City area, I would go visit a scrapyard but would have no idea what to look for

     Hey guys, I have a question about bolster and cap material for a knife that I'm working on. I have my blade all profiled out and am now searching for a piece of metal(steel) to use as a bolster and cap. I have a piece of O1 that's 0.25 inch thick that I might stack on top of itself to make the bolster ~0.5in thick if I can't find anything else to make the bolster out of. I don't think that method would work with trying to make the cap. I was thinking about using cast iron 5lb dumbbell handle but I don't know if that would work either lol, please recommend what I could use.

Material needs to be ~ 2" long 0.5" tall and 0.5" wide for the bolster and a little bigger for the cap

Pic attached is the knife I'm trying to recreate..

Thanks!
