Here's an illustration of how I have been fitting my bolsters.
It seems to work for me, though it might not be the perfect solution. Your comments, tips and advice remain most welcome.

You should also try silver soldering or braising if you have the equipment.

Interesting Zed, do you prefer this method to rebating the tang?
I mean like this....
Makes for a nice fit - especially if you use a file guide like this...
But the hardened jaws of a vice work well enough too.

Martyn, I like that system, as it makes for a really good fit. I have that same filing guide, and if I really wanted to do it that way, I could even mill it to even greater precision.
The reason why I don't do that on scandinavian knives is that they tend to be thinner and often laminated too. I don't want to thin the tang or introduce a stress riser.
There's no reason it wouldn't work on a thick bowie tang, and I'd really be tempted to do it that way.
