Hate to sound ignorant and uninformed, but I've lived a sheltered life. What do you mean by halved?

I don’t think anyone else answered your question so I’ll give it a shot.

Hafting means adding a handle. To an axe or hammer.

As far as pocket knives go:
HAFTING means adding scales and how they are trimmed to fit. Especially the fit at the bolsters.

HALVED is the past tense.

Thanks eveled eveled ! I know what hafting is. It didn't occur to me to associate it with "halved" D'oh! blushsmall.jpg
 
mbkr mbkr FWIW, I think hafted is correct for past tense of putting a handle on. Halved may also be correct?

Halved is correct if you cut something in half. “The watermelon was halved” but its kind of outdated.

Of course we’d say “The watermelon was cut in half”

Fascinating language we all share.

I'd halve a melon or coconut etc.

I thought paulhilborn paulhilborn was referring to the fact that the Stag was symmetric and the centre pin corresponds to a half-way point? But I could well be off the plot......;)

Well, apparently once I posted I never came back 😂 meant Hafted/Hafting but spellchecked is either your friend or enemy. I meant how thin the company or the Cutler applies or attached the stag covers as the area by the center pin is so thin, yet salvaged or utilized the most of the stag covers by not grinding/sanding the stag so thin and go through ruining the gorgeous Stag. I think Will corrected me before but I often don't follow up, hey, I'm lazy :)
Just a heads up, it won't be the last time this happens on my part ;) 😁
