Hello Ian,
If it were a flyssa blade I imagine it would be just the tip then. The handle does have a hole in it right above the wire wrap and bellow the concentric circles. I still wonder at the need to re-fashion the base of the blade in such a manner, why make it so thin and wide?
The whole thing is surprisingly solid, I tried bending it and the blade won't budge. The hilt does move lightly and it seems that the tang is very short, no longer than the wire wrapping.
Anyway, many thanks for the reply.
Manolo
