Really nice. Is the tang integral? It looks like you have a third smaller pin in the handle- why is it there? How thick is the blade?

And, nice job indeed.

Yes, the blade, bolster and tang are a single forging. It was originally a 5" piece of 3/4"
O-1 drill rod.

There are 3ea. 3/32 brass pins in the pommel

The spine is about 3/16" to allow for file work and the deep swage.
