@tiberseptim100 the blacksmith will usually be in remote area. WHen he goes to bed pull up to his shop and load up his anvil. The anvil weighs about 200 pounds. So be strong. Of curse you could buy one used for maybe $100. Youmight want to do that.

MERL is the Museum of English Rural Life, located at Reading. Personally I much prefer wooden handles to rubber or plastic as they are mcuh more comfortable to use for long periods of time. As for rotting, yes if left in the damp for long periods, but I have billhooks over 150 years old with the original wooden handles still tight and in good condition...

ok....that is not a billhook since it lacks the "hook", that's more like a machete, no where near a billhook.

@tiberseptim100 New ones can be bought from any good Farrier or blacksmith supplier and ebay is a good place to look for secondhand ones. Even try looking around farm yards for old ones!

Strange way to use a rasp with a tang... Have a look at those in the MERL collection - tang is used to fit a wooden handle (easy enough to burn a red hot tang into the wood). If making a socket handle, for balance it is better to thin the steel before folding over, this makes the handle of a larger diameter - you can use it as it is (a technique common in the Alps) or fit a wooden handle into it. Cut be an effective cutting tool the edge needs hardening and tempering...

@Billman1949 I have no idea what merl is but the reason I took the tang off was because I wanted to make a small hand axe similar to the one I had which had broken, this had a 5/8" handle fitted with a nice piece of water hose from a car heating system. Any bigger and it wouldn't have fitted. I don't like wooden handles as they break and rot.. as for cutting this steel is hard enough not to need hardening and tempering, in fact it could do with letting down a bit as it will shatter if hit hard..
