What make is it and does the tang go through the handle to be peened over a metal washer?

 

There are really only two styles for older tools. See... "Tools and Devices of Coppice Craft" by F. Lambert

A good tip is to weld a peice of steel on the tang so you have so to revit over.

It says j Harrison N0. 2 on the blade, so I assume that's who made it. I have attached a photo. I didn't do the botched handle job by the way.

 

I shall contact Peter Woods and see what he says. Thanks for that.
