Yes I notice the pin that goes through it now, when I'm looking at it on my laptop.
I didn't noticed it before on my cellphone.
Such pin however can't be as strong as the "normal" version of a baca-baca IMO, but very attractive this way.
Do you think this kind of handle is the original one to this great blade?
Great it has also a seperate gangya!
