112 Shield question

[K-Lastima]

The smkw smooth bone 112 with Buck script shield.
Anybody know if it is glued on, or an inlay?

Inlay

Thanks for the information.
I bought a set of them, for gifting at Christmas. The blue one will be mine.
I'll post a picture when it comes.

This is something that I've often wondered about. What exactly does "inlay" mean? Glued? Pinned? Something else?

I looked up the definition of "inlay" before posting and I still didn't get a definitive answer.

I thought inlay meant a badge set in flush with the handle regardless of how, pinned or glued or both.

That's the definition I got when I looked it up.

An "Inlay" is something that has been inset into a primary surface to be flush with said primary surface.
It is not a cutlery specific term or feature.
Some fancy tables, for example, can have lighter or darker woods inlayed into the tabletop. It used to be common for a firearm to have inlays, as well.
A metal (or wood, or some other material like Ivory, Abalone, Horn ...) shield (or carving which may not be flush past the border of the inlay) can be inlayed into a knife handle, gunstock (which can also have a patchbox and compass inlaid), pool cue, or whatever.

The means of attaching an inlay is irrelevant to the definition.

Thank you. That's what I thought and it's the reason I'm confused about the first two posts.
