The through/peened tang is definitly Aranyik's product. The blade was mainly made as a tourist piece. But I think there 's a harden line on it. And it 's thickness/taper 's somewhat better than a typical steel sheat piece.

I understand Tim's point. Although the blade may not stand abusive used like battlefield or Krabi-Krabong practice like this...

but the blade is more than enough for household use such as killing a snake, drive foxes, dogs or cats away from hen house or even hold against unwelcome [night] visitor.

I would like to regard this piece as a modern, household blade. Although in this modern age of guns, a sharpen blade with reasonable construct could be handy in a right situation.
