Well, the blade shape is pretty common but full tang is only found on British military patterns (20th c.). Traditional kukris have either a stick tang that goes all the way through the grip (peened over a washer at the end) or a hidden rattail tang (friction fit and glued with Laha resin, just as strong as epoxy).


I have wondered if they might have sent me the wrong version, as the pictures and description does not match the one I have, but I cannot complain, as it cuts better than any of my HI's(Though two of them I have been afraid to test, because they are just TOO gorgeous!).
