The new dha I just got has a long tang with the end peened. I untill now had always though of dha as having short tangs that were fixed with resin into the handle. So I attibuted the new dha as a modern variation only. Then I got to looking at some of my other dha closer and found some that look to have peened tangs. The end cap on the second one from the left may or may not be covering a peened tang but the others definitely seem to ( at first I thought the third from the left was just damage but on looking closer there is a thicker center that looks peened ). Any thoughts on this ?
Thanks
John
