Opinions needed; clasp knife or razor??
#11
The attachment is indeed a matter of thought, although soldering and brazing were commonly used by the Romans. Brazing here is out, but soldering is certainly a good option. Looking at the drawing, it seems as if the socket for the blade has been crimped, too. It is very similar to the way a Roman scalpel blade is inserted into the handle.

From a business point of view, would a folding knife sell better then a fixed blade, I wonder?
