Thank you for compliments, guys, and mainly posting fyi as usual.

Full tapered tang. Mostly his bolsters pinned, but these copper ones were soldered. I would have chosen pins, but can always be added if need be.

PS- I suppose can add this historic note here, as well as anywhere else. For those who did not know, as for resemblance of these repro retro knives (and those originals they emulate) to modern kitchen cutlery varieties, those early frontier knives were the direct inspiration of the factory knives which followed shortly after the late 1700s-early 1800s golden age of primitive frontiersman westward expansion or plain roaming.
