Does the tang go through the entire length of the handle?

YES. This machete is pure quality. They don't come to much better then these. Check out some youtube videos on these.

Yes, but the handle is two pieces of wood riveted to the tang and there is gap the thickness of the tang. I really like the machete for sharpness and ease of sharpening

It has a rat tang. The steel goes all the way through the Handle but it is really thin in the handle

Using a business card and a neodymium magnet, I just tested the length of the tang. The magnet falls off about 1" from the butt of the handle. This tells me that it is not quite full tang.

No, as part of the handle is hollow. My understanding is that there is a metal sleave that attaches to the blade tang, but I have never taken the plug out of the handle to look.

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.

These are full tang knives... the tangs extend to the entire length of the handle. The handle is made of a composite material (hard plastic). The handles consist of two pieces of the composite material riveted in three places.

No, I don't think it was supposed to. I couldn't get the handle to extend the entire length half the time so that's why I returned mine.

I don't claim to be a knife expert. If I understand "full tang" it is difficult to tell if the end of the knife blade is inside the wood handle, but based on the balance and weight it appears to be. Hope this helps.

It's a half tang. In the handle, the metal is full width, but only partial length.

Yes, it has a full tang blade. Beware, though, it has a very cheap and poorly designed sheath.

No....not full tang, more like 2/3. A you look at the picture, the tang stops about 3/4" from the last rivet closest the hilt. For the money....can't beat it! Since the weather has broke, i have used it extensively here in WV clearing brush on my property. Tears through brush and saplings up to 3-4" diameter. Holds a decent edge, and re sharpens easily. Hope this helps. Do your self a favor and spend extra money on the sheath!

In my case, no! Works good for me! But you just take the handle never touch other part .

Yes it is full tang, it is all one piece with the lower part just wrapped for a handle. I was very happy with it and the price is so good!

The tang on this sword goes up, over 3/4 the length of the handle...at least past both hands!

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.

You cannot see the tang through the handle to tell whether it has a full tang, but according to one review I found here http://www.modernbushman.com/2011/09/23/cold-steel-kukri-machete-97km-a-must-have-survival-tool/ , it is full.

No. The blade component extends into the hollow handle about one inch (of the four-five inch handle). It appears affixed to the handle by a little six sided bolt into the blade and a hollow cross base on the inside of the hollow handle through which the end of the blade fits inside. Perhaps that end of the blade is glued into the handle cross brace. I accidentally bought a second one of these and I'm looking forward to giving it to a friend of mine with 30 wooded/marshy acres in Wisconsin. Probably my favorite economical survival knife. It's a heavy piece of shiny metal with all those extras.
