Here's the knife.
The handle was made out of a broken coathanger, it's quite comfortable. Now the blade is fixed in with tin (solder). I whittled the end of the handle to slim it down, but left some bumps. Placed the blade in. Then I wrapped cardboard around it. Melted the tin, then poured it into the wrap. In the end I filed away the access and made it smooth.
Worked out quite well.
I don't really use this knife for the blade was cut from shit steel sheet and if I press hard it bends. Other drawbacks: can stain my hand.
The idea came from old Hungarian shepherd's crook. They often decorated their staffs with carvings and in some cases they poured melted tin around the ornaments.
