I thought they studied this issue, and decided it was contrary to the well being of the blade??
When designing the tang for these blades we had considered having it protrude through the end of the handle, but our testing proved that this feature, when used as designed, for hammering, allowed dirt, debris, and excessive moisture to gather under the handle. This in turn leads to a much greater possibility for handle and/or tang failure. At Swamp Rat Knife Works we don't take chances when it comes to long term durability and performance.
