The tang (base of the knife) is thick and about half the width of the thin knife blade. You can see it on the heel of the knife handle. I think it is a really sturdy design.

Is the sheath ambidextrous?

The sheath that came with mine is ambidextrous. Its leather with a sewn vertical seem that runs along the back of the sheath. Hope this helps.

What is the purpose of the brass knob on the end of the handle?

This knife has a "rat tail" tang that extends through the handle to the butt of the knife. The little brass knob screws on to the end of the tang and holds the handle and the blade tightly together.
