Extra points if you know why I used the topic name 

I've decided that the only way I will ever get the dagger I want is to make it. I'll be doing everythign except foring the blade. I have some experience in casting for making the guards and pommel, and carving to make the handle. I have assembled a couple v=blades before, but the actual blades I worked with in the past had a full length tang. I've ordered a damascus dagger blade, but it looks like tha tang is not full length. Doing antler and silver for the hint parts, any suggestions attatching them?
