Hi Guys, sorry to be tardy in replying. The blade came off woith out any problems. The "glue" melted partly, I was able to twist off the handle and remove the glue plug. The plug was slightly rubber-like but as it cooled it became quite hard and plastic like. It really is amazing stuff.
The handle has a nice smell - almost sweet. Sandalwood? The tang shows a twisted profile. There was no wound fabric around the tang.
I'm on holidays right now so I can't post some pics. I post them next week.
Greg
