If you can come up with the right piece of material, you can craft a hidden tang type knife:

 

 
When the last deer disappears into the morning mist,
When the last elk vanishes from the hills,
When the last buffalo falls on the plains,
I will hunt mice for I am a hunter and I must have my freedom.

This is a recurved bowie I've built for the St. Judes auction. The sheath's been signed by all this year's Sweat vets....
