I noticed that, too—very encouraging. Was trying to figure out why the “armored steel” forward area. The most reasonable answer I’ve come up with so far is informed by some of the pics showing how thin the back end is. Perhaps they went as thin as they could there to save on weight and bulk, applying the steel “armor” just where it was most needed for rigidity/strength? I like the fact that the back end of the handle is full height, for control, and the clip and armored areas seem to be at similar heights above the titanium substrate, which suggests a comfortable continuity there. Just speculation, of course, but it’s nice on this one to be getting the feeling that they really got it right. 👍

Will, I bet you're correct. Always a keen eye.

The Busse Block Lock looks substantial on this original iteration. I can't help but notice the armor makes the lock's nub protrusion "just right" for a good purchase.

Of course, I also realize this was made for a series. Survival, scavenging, and repurposing always seem to be part & parcel of these sort of zombie stories, so maybe it's <at least partially> for aesthetics and generally just looking badass and "up armored."
 
Aesthetics and looking badass most certainly is in the mix. And it IS innovative looking and arguably badass, which is fun. I guess we’ll soon see for ourselves if it’s also a functional design that’s capable of proving itself in hard use or if it’s destined to be more a novel collectible. Besides the features I mentioned earlier, the fact that it’s built around an INFI blade gives me more than a glimmer of hope.
