The usual tang (habitual Darb's tang) is a rat tail tang composed of a rod welded to a small tang left on the blade.

The other end of the rod is threaded to screw on the pommel and fasten the blade to the handle, see here

- a half tang or tang usually used for the Krabi Krabong swords, see here --- can be deemed as a riveted push tang
