species

  • The flat is very stable against stress and allows a secure attachment of the handle shells.
  • The round is mostly used for knives with handles made of deer horn or wood. The hollowed-out handle is placed over the round, the space in between is filled with epoxy resin and the end is screwed on.
    • In the case of tools whose handle is not subject to rotation , the tang is only wedged. An antiquated technique is to guide the tang through the wooden handle and fold it back and forth in a U-shape.
  • Especially with high-quality carving tools, the tang is polygonal, with files and rasps it is also triangular.
  • A rat tail tang is a very thin, round tang that is only screwed on.
