What percent of corner tangs have the tang broken?
I see many photos of corner tangs, but usually the tang is still intact, even on the halves and parts. What is the percentage or ratio of intact/broken tangs?
Just curious....

Re: What percent of corner tangs have the tang broken?
I have never seen a recognizable cornertang with a broken tang. If you just find the tip half of the blade then you never know for sure about the nature of the base. I have a number of broken blades with the right curves to be the possible remains of cornertangs but one can never be certain.
