Thank you. Its not a very common style. Its one of my theory of how these blades could look like. I think they could have been made from splited bone in the past. If they would have shoulder at the tang they could break easily. the handle is mounted the same way as the other hidden tang blades. one of my first one yakut knife with this type of blade

Thank you. Yes sometimes, but straight after quenching they can still be fixed.

The bigger button is made as rivet and its riveted on the long brass strip, which is creates sort of washer for all rivets. I hope this make sense Exactely, thank you

Thank you. Its hard to say which side this is come from. As far as I know both sides were using this type of hanger. They were mainly made to order, not as mass product. I hope this make sense. Thank you
