Wow, I don't think I've ever seen one like that either. Does that new handle seem like it's a single piece instead of a separate neck that's pressed into the handle? It looks to me like the groove between the neck and the handle is just a milled groove instead of a seam, and it seems like it would have been more trouble than it was worth to try to line up the fluting along the handle with the neck if they were two separate pieces.
