    I've seen image #2 before and my eyes always go to the "faux frameback" because this one is a point of confusion sometimes. I think what it is showing there is actually a rattler grind. The way I understand it is a frameback has a blade that is separate from the tang and spine (correctly represented above imo), a faux frameback has tang, spine, blade as one piece with a separate piece of metal wrapped around the spine, and a rattler is like what image #2 shows as being a faux frameback. So we end up with people sometimes referring to a rattler as a faux frameback. Right?...maybe
