TokWan ill try to explain best i can as to making a lower jaw knife this applies to prettmuch all animals i guess.
1, the rear part of th jaw has to be removed then a channel needs to be made to accept the blade
then you,ll need to use some 2pt epoxy to hold the blade this is the tricky part cause the blade has to
remain perfectly still for a few hours no shifting what so ever or the blade will set that way happens a bit to me.
then if all is well then you can wrap the sniew around the joint where the blade meets the jaw.
i hope that helps some .sorry i can,t post video would really love to do that.

Porfabor...no comprehendo...hehe

oh another thing not all jaws are condusive to being able to turn into knives. for instance
black bear jaws can sometimes be a p,i,t,a cause there is not enough bone material at
the rear jae end to work with the rear portion of all jaws gets not only very thin but curves as well
just where you need too remove and shape and make a slot to haft the blade to.
whitetail deer seem to work well as compared to say coyote and bear.buffalo too works well.
