A sawsall blade with the top of the blade ground down to fit in the hole will work as a broach.

That is how I got/made my 1st knife handle broach. But them Black Dragon Forge knife handle broaches are nice.

@SUP go to Ragweed Forge Store, then go to Knife making, then pick Fittings. 

Then you will see all sizes of ferrules, bolsters, guards for knife making. 

You then will need to find a Ferrule that best fits your dimensions. To make the best fit of ferrule I would pick a ferrule a smidgen undersized then you can fit it to your blade & handle.

I'll  look at the sites you have sent me @DieselTech and @Wepster and get an idea of what to do, how to measure, and then get back. That will be in a couple of days as I have time to do all this only during the week, when I can concentrate.

I'll get back on the size of the ferrules once I see exactly how to measure it.  Same with the broach making. The Broach is sold out in both places you mentioned. I will look if it is available elsewhere.

@Wepster Thank you. I need to look into replacing those handles. Swamped with other matters right now. Hope to get back in a couple of weeks when I will look into getting this. 

I appreciate your help.:)
