I understand that the rat-tail tang with nut was used on the Mk 1's, and full tang later, so where in the scheme of things does the butt-cap attached with screws fir in?
I gather on pieces made by Kamis for local use, butt-caps weren't often fitted at all.
Does this still apply now?
If I should have started a new thread, I beg pardon!

No screws on official mk.1 mk.2 & mk.3 hilts, Richard.
Heres a MK1 tang.
Lots More mk.1 variations to be seen in my post on this thread at IKRHS.
