I haven't forgotten that I have to search on my books about that for you!<br>
The tang of my knife is a rod, of course, and a good cutler should forge it in one piec with the blade, otherwise it will break.<br>
Tehre are more kinds of handles but the rod tang is the commonest one and I recall some nude tangs that should correspond to lost (turned?) wooden handles.<br>

It\'s all an accident, an accident of hands. Mine, others, all without mind, from one extreme to another, but neither works nor will ever.
