What type of tang is the blade? Does it have a full tang all the way through or does it have a rat tail tang(small pipe with screw on end)??

I haven't taken this object apart to examine it, but when I flex the blade and feel the vibrations coming through the grip, it feels like a full-tang and not the rat-tail type. If you visit the Cold Steel website, there are video demonstrations of pretty big guys putting a sword over a high bar, gripping the handle and forte of the blade, and hanging off of the blade. It's very strong. These are functional items, not props or cheesy knock-off swords.

It is a Full Tang blade as far as I can tell though I don't know if I myself can undo it

I'm not that familiar with daggers to answer your question. I don't know what the tang is, but I see no screws. It seems solid through, but there is a small round end, probably quarter inch diameter at the very end and center of the handle. It appears to be good quality, but then again, I'm not generally knowledgeable about these things. Wish I could be more helpful.

I believe it is full tang. The metal runs through the handle. I have not use it in the field or torture tested one. But this knife is very nice and feels rock solid. It will be by my Ka-bar knife in my collection.

No, it definitely does NOT have a full tang. However, the tang does go deep enough to hold up for it's intended use. I've hacked thumb-sized limbs off live trees in a single swing and it shows no sign of loosening up.I couldn't tell you the weight in ounces, but it's very very light. The blade is thin and sharp, but strong. With the optional cover, it's light enough to attach to your pack for long treks.

Yes, it is Full Tang, and it does hold a good edge. You'll be happy with this 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.

Yes, the blade is full tang.It extends past the handle scales and has an exposed portion for hammering or light prying jobs.

It is a FIXED blade knife. No it is NOT full tang there is some space left in the bottom of the handle. It is not a folding knife...Amazon is wrong. But this knife can take a beating as much as a full tang. Check out the abuse videos on youtube.

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.

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

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.

It's half (or 2/3) tang, but considering that the handle is longer than the blade, it's as good as full tang. So far I haven't had any problems out of it, but I don't go hardcore testing with it. I just skin a few deers with it.

If by full tang you mean the blade is one piece of metal that goes through the length of the handle, then yes. On the very back-end of the handle, is a protruding section of the metal that can be used to crack-open items.

The knife is a fixed blade. It is also "full tang" meaning the blade runs all the way through the handle. It is a very sturdy blade and a fine knife through and through.

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 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

It is not full tang. It is affixed extremely well top the handle though and isn't chinsy. I seriously doubt you or anyone else is going to break it. It's a big heavy duty chopping machine that can take heavy use. If your looking for a reason not to buy only thing I can think of is cheap looking sheath though it's solid and works fine. Also mine didn't come very sharp and I immediately put it on my wicked edge system

No it is 3/4 Rat tail tang. Meaning the tang is thinner is size in a shape resembling a rat tail that extends only 3/4 of the handle
