does this have a full tang

It has a super-strong full tang that sticks out the back far enough to be an effective pounding tool. Truly an awesome knife!

Yes, it is a full tang, perhaps more accurately described as a "stick tang," since the tang itself is narrower than the blade, but that is obvious just looking at the handle.

Yes it is full tang....this is a sturdy weapon and can be used in a fight. No bolts or screws, they did a very good job in constructing this gladius.

Yes the sword is full tang, as well as comes with a hidden dagger and the back harness. it also has a factory sharpened blade but is not a comeback suitable piece. however it is still a very nice sword to add to your collection

I've not disassembled mine but all of the reviews and descriptions I have read say that it does have a full tang. It's a beautiful sword, by the way.

No, not full tang. What there is screws into a plastic handle. I've used this to easily and comfortably cut through limbs about 3/4 inch think. It's for light duty, and for this it works well. I like it.

it is a rat tail tang. That makes it a full tang but not like you are thinking. It is a very nice knife.

Yes it is full tang. There seems to be a debate though over the type of steel used. According to my research this particular knife uses AUS-6 rather than AUS-8. The SOG Seal Put that does not use the designation 37N and non-serrated edge uses the AUS-8 steel. No matter, this knife has found a purpose in use. Great mid sized fixed blade for general overall use. I intend to get the straight edged Seal Pup as well. Good luck!

Yes, a full tang that helps to balance the blade. It is a bargain for a quality production blade and I intend to buy another.

This could be an indication that as Mine was, It is not a full tang. These Cold Steel swords are very poor quality. I had mine pulled apart buy a highly quality Smith and he was just shaking his head at how bad this thing was put together. If I was you I would send it back and get your money back unless all you plan to do is hang it on the wall as that is all it is good for and safe to use it for. If you do pull yours apart in any way you cannot return it.Hope this helpsBek

Stainless steel. I am not certain if it is a full tang handle. Are there ways to tell?

I believe it is full tang. It's a very very sturdy knife. I've had it and used it for about 4 years and it's in wonderful condition.

I cannot determine if there is a Full tang. The handle is very solid, but I don't know how long the tang is. It does not go through to the end of the wooden handle like other Chinese knives that I own.

This knife, and the other K-Bar military knives are NOT FULL TANG! Full tang means that the blade runs down the full length AND the full width of the handle. These knives have a "rat tail" tang which is only about half or less of the blade width running down the middle of the handle. They are very good knives but are not as strong as a true full tang knife. If you apply a lot of pressure side ways to the blade or use for heavy chopping they will snap off flush with the handle. A full tang knife will not
