Is the San Mai III SRK full tang?

No, by proper definition the Cold Steel SRK is a heavy-duty stick tang. Calling this knife a full-tang is a marketing strategy mainly.

The tang goes below the lanyard hole, so some would call it a full tang while others might call it a 3/4 tang because it is fully enclosed in the handle and no part is exposed.

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.

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.

It is a partial Tang. Please view this image for further visual.http://www.moraofsweden.se/20.0.0.0/1091/cache/1091_9d0b4dbad491099eb9c35234074c8107.jpg

Yes it most certainly is, as far as I know all of the knives in the BK series are full tang.

It is indeed a "rat tail" tang, a fairly substantial one and should be plenty strong as the ka-bar's were for years and years. Fallkniven makes a knife very similar to this and a full tang design where it is exposed at the butt of the handle. I prefer the fallkniven to the srk, but the srk will still be very useful. try a google search for "coldsteel srk tang photo: and you will see the tang. I wouldn't call it "full" but it's not a skinny rat tail either.

No it is not. It is either half tang, or rat tail. It seems more like rat tail.

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.

Yes, it has a full tang. This is a very good quality knife at a bargain price. I just ordered four more for Christmas gifts.

two different types of steel for the blades. the one you are looking at has aus 8a. the other one is san mai 3. the san mai 3 is supposedly a better steel. I have owned one of each. I loved the aus 8a, but wanted to try the san mai 3. That being said, I haven't had the san mai 3 long enough to tell you that it truly is better, but for the slight price difference I would recommend you go with the san mai 3. Did quite a bit of reading on it, and it appears to be the better blade. (I'm not sorry I upgraded so far)

Katana's are never full tang, and if this product is like the rest of musashi products then it is 3/4 tang.

Yes it is full tang 1060 high carbon steel sword, it does not come a stand but it comes wrapped in a sword bag. The Hattori Hanzo stands are sold on Amazon for like $19.99 and are very nice.

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.

No, 3/4 tang I believe, but I wouldn't count it out at this price. There are youtube vids of folks batoning with 3/4 tang Moras, though with this blade thickness and tang that may not be best. Haven't used that way, but it is still providing good service for the things for which knives are really intended. This web page gives a lot of info and lists the few Moras that are full tang: http://www.ragweedforge.com/SwedishKnifeCatalog.html

This knife is not the San Mai III. It is made of 01 steel. The San Mai is more expensive.

. It features a broad VG-1 San Mai III® blade that's been flat ground to achieve the ideal blade cross-section and edge geometry. Carefully honed to razor sharpness, its edge cuts effortlessly while its dropped point simplifies the chore of field dressing and skinning.

Yes it is full tang. Holds a edge well and best fit and finish in this price range.
