    Any reason for the rivet design change?

    Thanks Gentlemen.
    Daswulf original is ... probably one of riveted iron rivet and some kind of glue-binder.

    The neotribal metalsmiths experimented a lot using pitch (often mixed with powdered herbivore dung---PHD) as a "natural glue and filler.
