It has a threaded full length tang. To further decrease the weight without decreasing its strength there is a fuller on each side that extends almost to the end of the blade. Has a spur guard with a lanyard hole. Full tang ends with a pommel and a lanyard hole.HANDLE: This CONTACT C has a HCS handle and it is ergonomically designed. Lightly textured Forprene.
