I'd probably just shoot myself. But, if that doesn't work for you, then try putting either a buffalo horn or a steel ferrule between the blade and the tusk. Dremel a hole into the tusk for the tang, shorten the tang even more if you must. Once the tang is in drill through the tusk and tang for a pin to secure the blade. If you will look in the Tutorial Sticky at the top of the forum you'll find a tutorial at the bottom of the list that I wrote on how to get a single pin handle like that to fit up nice and tight. Might be useful in this case ...
