I have a tool someone made for me.The tang from the handle end to the beginning of the cutting tool is 6" long.The width of this piece is 7/8". It is 3/8" thick. I thought about grinding an equal amount off of each side but dont want want to do this.I thought about taking 2 pieces of wood and routing a groove in each piece so that the tool would fit snugly in it but I think this would end up being a bigger handle than I want.Im scratching my head on this and dont have a whole lot of time to put in to this as my schedule is jam packed to say the least...Rather be using the tool...Thanks for any help !!!.
 
That does seem awfully large for a tang. Must be a pretty beefy tool!

I was thinking a piece of pipe, sticking the tang in it and filling with epoxy might do the job? That would be fairly quick and simple anyway as well as being plenty skookum. A bit of tape wrap around the pipe makes it a bit nicer to handle.
