No. Tang extends about 1"into handle. Hand guard and 'tube' handle is welded as one piece with short tang welded into it. Handle is rubber (green) coated. I think you'd break the blade before breaking the blade/handle connection. Again, not for cutting down trees but blade will do damage to soft tissue...its a very large 'knife'.

No, it is not a full tang. It runs out about 1.5 inches away from the butt end of the handle. That being said, unless you are planning on using this thing to beat the living hell out of a rock, I don't think you will have much to worry about. Please let me reiterate a point I made in my review. For the money, this knife is one hell of a deal. I currently have four survival knives: The Gerber Bear Grylls, a Becker BK-2, a Mora and an Ontario Blackbird SK-5. I'm very actively involved in woodcraft/bushcraft. And I really like the Bear Grylls. Now having said that, if I could go back and order something different, I would get the fine blade knife (no serrations). I'm not cutting a lot of rope..so a serration is not something I want. Also, they have a newer version which has not only the fine edge, but also it's full tang construction. It costs a little more money. I think they're about $100 dollars or so. So if full tang is a real priority for you and you want a 3/16" thick one piece survival knife, that's probably how I'd go. Any other questions, just ask. :)

I don't know if it is full tang. The grip design shows a seam but not the tang, so it is doubtfully full tanged. That being said...I have never been disappointed in Cold Steel or Lynn Thompson's designs since buying my first Tanto in 1984/85. I have never experienced any type of failure, other than wear induced finish flaws, in any of the multitude of his knives of various types and designs I have purchased, used and abused shamelessly and without remorse or regret. :)

this knife has a 3/4 tang. It is not a full tang but has a reputation for durability.

According to the manufacturer's website product data information: yes, it is full tang. (Taylor Brands, LLC)

No, knife is not full tang. But feels very much so, one of the best grips you can find on a knife. Handle is made of a shaped plastic that does not ever look or fell like it will fall of. (Feels like you are holding a full tang knife) Hope that helps!

Yes it is a full tang and it is a true Damascus hand made knife. It is very nice.

I don't think it is full tang but so far it has kept a nice edge on it. I would recommend it to anyone

It is indeed a full tang, the construction is solid, its just the appearance, and edge were of horrid quality lol

Well, depends on your definition of "FULL TANG". It is not a full exposed tang with two separate handle scales attached to it on either side to make the handle. The tang does run nearly ( to within an inch or so) through and through the handle however. I would call it a full-length concealed tang, but not a traditional full tang. That said, this knife ( and it's tang) are a flippin' tank. You are not going to break this blade. It is as solid and robust as a knife can be. Solid knife, solid deal. I recommend it, you won't regret this purchase ( if of course you do purchase it).

I'm not sure if it's full tang, but my brother sharpened it a bit more after he opened it and he then proceeded to whack at everything in sight, but its still pretty sharp, barely dulled, if dulled at all.

It is not a full tang, but it's about 3/4 of the handle. The handle is bigger in diameter and in length compared to the regular mora. The blade is thicker too.

Yes it is full tang .. 1095 HC it has a really rough Finnish on it that is very strong.. 1095 HC can rust though so if u rem oil it it'll b fine this is honestly my favorite knife I own and definitely the toughest knife out there it sharpens up very well and stays sharp the handle is ok but if you want u can upgrade that or put the tennis racket grips over the existing handle to give it more grip the sheath at first I thought it wasn't to great but I now really like it .. It is definitely the best knife for 80 $ out there for the cash you are not going to brake this knife

Noah, I'm not positive if this is a full tang knife or not. As far as I know, it must have a piece of metal most, if not all the way down the handle. If you are considering buying this, I would definitley recommend it. I use it as my hunting knife and have cut through multiple deer and chopped through bone with this knife with ease. It's held up to everything I've put it through and it stays sharp as well. Best knife I've ever bought!

Yes, this knife has a full tang that extends all throughout the handle to be fixed to the brass butt/guard. It's a great knife: solid thick blade for its size, finger guard, handy grips, very comfortable in the hand while at work, features a 4 1/8" drop point, 420HC stainless steel blade (one of Buck's best), which holds a sharp edge well and is easy to be sharpened if needed to. A great skinner and all around camping, working and outdoor knife with 'civil' and appealing looks. Easy to carry! Can't get wrong with this!!

I believe it does but not full width. Meaning the blade tang is not the same size as the blade. This is a great knife!

While the tang is hidden by the handle, I assume its is a full tang knife. It is a great knife and remains incredibly sharp. I use it for most of my slicing and chopping but will switch out to a German chefs knife or a cleaver when a task requiring brute force is needed as I want to protect this knives from possible damage. It is the same basic knife as the classic series, but the copper layering make it visually beautiful and unique.
