I changed my mind. By the time I would finsh i would have a new one. So now i am going to make it into a fix blade(i am still going to post pictures). I am going to make my own handles out of wood and i am going to keep the tanto blade. New hunting knife:)

it will be a pretty weak fixed blade you would be better off making a simple folder out of it.
