Looks like the hilt is on backwards.

Hello Jose, I do not believe that it is. If you were to put the hilt on the opposite of the way it is now not only would you have to bend the tang to make it fit through the hilt it would then position the cutting edge on the top and the unsharpened side on the bottom. In the above photos the sharpened edge is the one next to the ruler.

Best,
Robert
