Battara,
Or anybody else that wants to chime in. 
 
 
This is all premature because my new blade hasn't arrived yet. But I know the asang asang/s are missing on it. 
If the handle above fits well with the blade how would I go about fitting new asang asang/s to this handle? 
I presume forge the ends down thin and long so they slide into the handle along with the tang. 
But that's just a guess. 
 
I dunno maybe it's not done with this kind of handle? I have the pitch for setting the blade into the handle.
