I have two products with a full tang, with the handle scales. When I hold the weapon with the flat of the blade parallel to the floor and shake it, I hear a noticeable "ticking" sound. The handle scales are tight and I even wrapped the handles in string, very tightly.
What could be causing this noise?

Hope one of them isn't one I made. To answer the question the guards could be moving.

Nah. It's a condor. The other is an unknown brand.
The one you made is pure art. What do you think it could be with my condor? Perhaps the scales are moving? Or the pins?

I guess the scales are not epoxied on and are able to flex when you shake the blade in that manner.

Pics and the specific item might help to figure it out. My first guess was that it might be false full tang

It's the kukri. I hear a metal sounding ting. Seems to resonate up to the swell in the blade, making it sound like that's where it's originating
