Adhesive for attaching kozuka to kogotana

[autodex]

Hello

I have a kozuka and kogotana however the kozuka is not a friction fit with the blade ...any ideas as how to secure the blade to the handle adhesive etc without damaging either piece

[Ed Harbulak]

Put a slight bend in the tang of the kogatana and friction will keep it in the kozuka. NO adhesive is needed! Or, wrap some paper around the tang so it's a snug fit and that's all you need. I presume you aren't actually going to use the blade for cutting, so it doesn't have to be more than a friction fit.

Thanks a slight bend worked like a charm
