The tang is glued to the horn with expoxy glue.
But very important is to have a pin, in that case I used two pins because that guarantee the robustness of the entire blade and handle.
I hope I have helped and I have noticed, sorry for my bad English.

That's a chunky knife you made Beowulf and a good job.

Can I ask what the owner will use it for?

That is one nice looking knife, and the sheaf also looks nice as well.
