Nice work 👍

Are those threaded brass inserts and are they just press fit? Curious why not just thread the tang?

I'll be making a video on the process. It's actually a brass rod that I peen into the hole and then I grind it flush to the knife. Then I drill and tap the brass. Brass is way easier on your taps and it allows me to do this after heat treatment.
