Edward, that is a nice shape, as for the copper/brass weld, I recently saw a similar copper/brass weld on the handle of a haladie, this is something I have not seen before, has anyone else seen this.

the brass stuff: it's brazing. easier than welding, and is at a lower temp.

mine also has 'ears' - ? for your thumb when stabbing down ?
