No. They are not full tang. They are partial tang- actually more of a rat-tail tang I believe. That said, these are great knives (especially for the money) and if you use them for their intended purposes and within reason they will serve you very well. Great knives, you won't regret it.

It's not sharp due to AMC right's and most ppl that will buy it know nothing of swords.. Full tang is a yes, this is a full tang battle ready katana. Once sharp if you want to sharpen it, it can kill So becarful

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 this a 100% American made product. Keep in mind that to get a katana of this quality made in Japan would cost well over $1000 U.S. Dollars.

Yes full tang with mikarta (plastic like) handle. As I prefer wood I make my own handles

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

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

The description says that this sword is "full tang" construction, which means that the steel of the blade extends the full length of the sword from tip to pommel. I have not taken my sword apart to know first hand if this is in fact the case.....but I don't intend to use my sword in combat, so I guess it doesn't matter. It is a cool looking sword, and doesn't feel or look cheap. I am very happy with this sword and would buy from this seller and/or manufacturer again.

Not 100% sure. I can tell you that there's a bolt at the end of the knife to unscrew in the event that you want to attach it to a spear without the knife handle. That would lead me to believe the knife is "full tang". You'll like this knife.

Yes it is full tang, you can see where the blade meets the bottom of the handle. It is the exact same knife but stamped US Army.

I can't answer that question. You cannot tell if this is full or half tang from the handle. The package does not state either.

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 don't think its a full tang(blade goes to the bottom of the handle.) I think it just stops at the hilt.

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

Its a full tang. I own one and my son owns one.. They are awesome! My son carried his in the field in the Army and beat it to death. You wont break it, he dug holes pounded tent stakes and chopped with it for a year and its still in good shape. I wouldnt worry about being made in Taiwan. Taiwanese quality is great.. They make wonderful knives there.
