You need a hole for a blade retention screw on the blade holder, flying blades are not safe lol ;)

O man, I'm not skilled nor do I have the tools to make a hole in the hilt and tap it to have a screw go inside it.

Stryder can both drill and tap the holes you need. http://www.thecustomsabershop.com/Services-C50.aspx

its not hard at all...

you can go to the hardware store and pick up a tap set in the size you need for about 12-15 bucks (if that)

drill hole, you can use a regular handheld drill, aluminum is quite soft and easy to drill through... it will help if you have a clamp or something to hold the part steady as you drill... I use a simple compression type clamp (like a big clothespin basically)... does the trick!

put the tap in the holder (its a T-handle thingy the tap bit should fit into), screw it in the hole you drilled, back it up a turn, screw it in further, back it up a few more turns, screw it in even further, repeat, repeat...

its no sweat!

DDD!
