You can do it with string too. Attach end of string with CA glue, wind
string snuggly around end of handle/tang. Glue doen the fininh end
with CA glue. Then soak the string with thinned CA or epoxy.

Plenty strong enough. If you have 10 lb test string, each turn is good
for 20 lbs - 10 turns is 200 lbs , 20 turns is 400 lbs.

Start with 14lb braided fishline and you are looking at about 300 and
600 lbs. (and the epoxy will increase that significantly)

I've got some kevlar fishing line but not sure if CA would ruin it.

This technique would be nice for handheld carving tools.
