No welt on this one as is traditional. The brass tacks will prevent the knife from cutting through.

I understand it's sold. I'm just asking out of curiosity. Will the tacks dull the knife at all?

Whoa there, Tom! Tell me more. I'm not too familiar with horsehide. Is it soft and supple?

I have used one like this for the last 40 so years and haven't noticed any ill effect to my knife.
