knife terminlogy - the increased width at the rear of the handle

[j22knife]

I mean "width".

What do you call that "bump" at the rear of the handle that is part of the grip. For example - on a Loveless style hunting knife. Is that referred to as the "pommel"? Or is there another term?

Thanks

Yes, the end of the handle, whether wider or not, is called the pommel
