The lower fit is not that good, but some real RZM daggers are that way. Once apart, I am convince the entire grip is a fake.

Here is the botton. That is not a wallowed out hole, but a faker's attempt to duplicate that hole in the real ones made by a mortising (sp?)chisel. It is two holes drilled on the side of the first hole.
