Forged as a solid piece, no welds. DIY for people that want to craft their own handle and customize. Full tang with three holes, one larger toward end for a lanyard. Thick spine and tip, solid! Almost a straight back profile except for swedged tip for greater piercing ability.
This would have been a nice knife if the handle pin holes were larger. As they harden the whole knife, you need to blueback the handle in order to re-drill the pin holes…
