What type tang does this knife have ?

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.

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

It has a "rat tail" type tang that runs 2/3 of the length of the handle. These knives are tough and I don't think that not having a full tang hurts it at all.

It is full tang hidden inside the grip you can tell by the brass rivit at the end of the handle that acts as a lanyard hole. All knives I own by ontaio I've been very impressed with and are easily worth the money especially considering that they are made in the USA.

Michael, yes this knife has a full length tang. From the blade guard to the pommel the tang is covered with leather rings. It's durable and fits well in your hand. It also reduces slippage due to perspiring.

Yes this a full tang knife. I know you can't tell by looking at the picture, but it is a well crafted and well balanced full tang knife.

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

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

Unfortunately, it's only a 3/4 tang. I'm not sure if they make this model in full tang.

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.

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. :)

No it is a rat tail tang, goes about 1/2-2/3 into the molded handle.The knives are very strong, I have battoned through frozen oak 2 1/2 inches thick very easily. Use common sense, this is a knife not a hatchet, or pry bar.

the knife pictured is the fallkniven F1 with the thermorun handle, I have one of these and it is full tang and it is exposed at the pommel. I bought this about a year and a half ago and am very pleased. the handle is a bit thin but I have smaller hands so it is not a problem for me. The quality of this knife is second to none and it is vg-10 stainless steel, best of both worlds!

Mine says Taiwan on the blade. Don't let that scare you off, it's a great knife.

What is tang?? it is a light weight knife with a titanium blade with a pointed tip that is sharp as a razor if that helps. I like it

Yes, full tang. Mine arrived fairly sharp in the box and I just cleaned it up with a smooth stone. Blade is so impressively heavy and thick that it will power through whatever you swing it at. Think short sword.

Using a kitchen magnet, it would appear to have a 3/4 tang. Other reviewers have stated it's a rat-tail tang, but I can't confirm this.

No. According to the Morakniv website - this is a Rat Tail tang knife, and NOT a full tang knife. Rat tail tang refers to the blade thinning in size inside the handle, and being either secured with a screw or embedded (moulded) within the handle material itself.
