Would you prefer that this knife had a 100% full tang, tip to pommel? Why is it built with a partial handle tang?

The knife works great depending on your skill level would i split logs with it no way it feather strips well Good for carving skinning small game and many other small chores full tang is allways better but mora is well known for reliability i prefer use of an axe over a knife anyday for shelter and fire wood building a small hatchet and my mora and the trail ahead

The knife is just great. Despite the lack of full tang, I find Moras to be fantastic. I don't particularly care for the black finish of this particular model and would advise getting the Highline Q model and rigging up your own fire steel to the scabbard.

Not sure why they don't make it a full tang. However, I have used Mora's for many years now and I have used them hard. I have never had a Mora break. Check out the Mora destruction video on You Tube. They put the knife through a series of ridiculous hard use tests and it takes an insane beating before it finally breaks.

The video that convinced me to buy this knife was by Dave Canterbury, and I thought he said it was full tang. Yes, I do prefer a full tang knife, but I have now purchased three of these, and they are a fantastic 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. :)

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). Well, depends on your definition of "FULL TANG".

From my earlier review: Semi-Full Tang (tang stops 1 inch before the heel of the handle on this 10.2 knife, blade is 5.8", handle is 4.4). Tang extends ~80% through the handle.

Well, it is supposed to be a full tang. I had to try it out and had some 1-1 1/2 inch tree limbs to prune I used my sword it went through like hot knife through butter. It is very sharp and I believe combat capable.

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

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.

Full tang meaning the blade goes all the way through the handle? don't believe so, like questions I've answered before they are more prop weapons Than anything.

This wasn't part of my response. I responded to whether the knife was "full tang." The "new addition" is in Amazon's description of the product, and I suspect they meant to say "new edition," since this particular knife is not exactly what is seen in the Crocodile Dundee movies.

The knife is very strong, but does not have a full tang. It is really a "fighting knife" and would be a very poor choice for heavy prying chores. The tang only extends a couple of inches into the cast handle.

OK guys, you are irritating me. Full means full, not partial. Here is a link to a video titled Cold Steel SRK, what can it take? >> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mN0kfBMt-5M <<At approx. 7:50 in this video they show the tang. It is NOT FULL. BTW, it's a great knife. I love mine, it's just not full tang.

I believe that it is Chinese steel and no it is not a full tang knife. The handle is hollow and doubles as storage.

It is a full tang but IMO far too small to be useful for either. I bought it for survival and you'd need to sharpen it, but don't count on using it for chopping wood

This is full tang, it goes through the handle and is screwed into the pommel. It is made in China so I am not sure about the steel.

This knife, and the other K-Bar military knives are NOT FULL TANG! Full tang means that the blade runs down the full length AND the full width of the handle. These knives have a "rat tail" tang which is only about half or less of the blade width running down the middle of the handle. They are very good knives but are not as strong as a true full tang knife. If you apply a lot of pressure side ways to the blade or use for heavy chopping they will snap off flush with the handle. A full tang knife will not

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.
