The bands are hard soldered but that section is smaller than the section without bands, so I imagine that the tang is long and the it was pressure fit into the banded section with pitch.

One exception - the first band next to the blade has a copper rivet through that band and the blade, keeping it tight.

I also made a lot of copper nails to replace missing ones.
