Buck 692 query

[zanussi01]

Can anyone tell me how the pommel is attached on the Buck 692 please?
They dont look to be pinned on,like the 119 for example.
I cant see any exposed tang either,so are the screwed on to a threaded tang?
Any help,or pics,would be appreciated.

yes threaded tang

yes threaded tang

Does Buck use thread locker during assembly to hold on the pommel in place? Right-handed threads, I assume.

yes standard 1/4-20 threads in the pommel....the tang is flat with same threads.. i think joe just used the same epoxy glue that he used inside the handle--he just ran it out the threads and screws the pommel on----loctite would work too..

vanguard blade---threaded tang---threaded pommels---they had a few different ones---pommel threaded on...
