I have been considering picking one of these up for a while, but when I was looking at Google images one of the first ones I pulled up shows a break in the tang.
I never worried much about skeletonized tangs until I saw this. I don't abuse my knives, but I do use 4" fixed blades to baton smaller diameter wood. When I posed the question about the tang on the Wilderness Skills forum, someone mentioned that they had read somewhere (maybe this subforum), that the tang construction had been changed to remove the first hole to make it more robust (to avoid this happening again).
I searched quite a bit over here, but no luck. Can anyone confirm the skeletonized tang has been updated since the initial run to remove the first hole?
Thanks in advance!
