Are All Original Game Warden's Skeleton Tang?

[Father & Son Traditional Sharpening]

As the title states, wondering if the Game Warden's of older Busse make are full solid tangs or if they are milled out in the tang like the Skeleton Warden?

I'm guessing solid.

I'm guessing solid.

That was my guess also but happy to be wrong about that.

Tubes would break the handles under the press if they were skeletonizes.
Plus, given Busse doesn't glue handles on, they'd be moving around the tang

Hmm, interesting.

I seem to remember someone taking the scales off of a scaled version and they were solid.

The skelton wardens were probably made into that custom shop in the pic you have there.

Only way to know for sure would be to ask the shop or buy one and pop them scales off (I would go with ask the shop)

Just look at the pics of the milled tangs on TGLB/TGULB, tube holes are in full thickness stock

Two totally different tangs. Game wardens are solid.

That's a BAD Warden from the 2006 Microscopic Extravaganzaaaaa.

Skeleton Wardens were similar, but without any meat between the bones. They looked like this (and were all owned by Jaxx, whose picture this is):

​

As Garth said, regular GW didn't have the skeletonized tang.
