Tai,
Your forging has a full tang, and the finished has a hidden tang. Just curious what drove the change? Was it the perfect handle Material? Maybe the full tang just didn't fit your eye? Looks great as is, but I can se it with the full tang also. Just curious.

It's a 2/3 "full tang". It seats into a slot in the wood and is epoxied and pinned. The flat tang and internal construction is hidden by the wrapping. It's a stud type end piece.
