Thanks Joe! They call it a nagel (nail) and it was common on blades of this sort in medieval Europe. Here is a link to some images of originals:

This is one awesome thread!!! I dont have any "custom" choppers yet, Next month i get my competition chopper from Dan, and then ill be able to play with the big dogs
This is my camp knife, and for now my chopper as well while i wait on that GORILLA of a knife. But this Chopweiler works quite well as a camp knife.

If you completely removed that rough coating you'd probably notice quite the difference when battoning!

Yea your right, I have stripped a few blades because of this too. This one would have been stripped already so i could see the pretty hamon underneath that coating if the handle was easily removable without drilling out the tube fasteners.
That picture was taken the first time i took the knife out, since then i have worn off some of the coating in use and then I took a piece of sandpaper and smoothed the coating up to the saber grind line on the blade. I didnt remove it, just smoothed it down and it makes a little difference already.
