I have an older Pakistan made Damaskus lock blade knife with real "bone / stag" handles, that is more crude, but a very solid knife, full 1/8" thick blade...
but I am paranoid of the "fantasy knife" market... I tend to look for full length tangs... the stainless hatchet in my field dress kit has a full length, full thickness tang, someting like that makes me feel the warm fuzzies, better than the Gerber hatchets that the handle is separate from the blade
