They feel kind of pokey , nothing on the hilt is loose but it just feels sort of delicate .

What an incredible amount of close delicate work with nailing those tiny objects into the wood , I believe the nails go through miniscule brass collars then into the piece to be attached .

The tang is bent over a metal pommel plate as described in the article .

The blade on closer examination looks like it is san mai style forging .
The spine of the blade curves 3/16" over its length and I have noticed a subtle distal taper .
