Is this sword actually Full Tang?

the sword tang ends 2 inches before the end of the handle. I used a very strong magnet to check it. I wanted to swing it hard and now it is safe and sound in my mind.

I have one of these, and I have had it apart, it is full tang, and 1040 carbon steel, and they do come very sharp. It's not tough enough to go chopping down trees, or anything, but they are still a bargain at $50. I have several Musashi swords, and I love them.

It appears to have only one holding peg, but that doesn't mean it isn't full tang, dissembling it would answer that question. However I don't plan on taking mine apart until it needs to be. It has great balance and it cuts great, and I'm satisfied with it.

Yes it is, and what a beautiful piece of craftsmanship it is, for 50 bucks they gave this sword away.

No one really knows if the steel is stable enough like the man said it's not tough enough for trees.creeperkillersm at Facebook is the one answering this not Shelby

The description says that it is, but you won't be able to see If the tang runs all the way through or not. If it helps, it sure feels like it does because of the weight.

Im not an expert on swords but If your asking if the blade is one whole piece then yea I believe it is. I can see the screw that holds the blade into the inside of the handle so I believe it is full tang

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.

Yes the sword is full tang. It extends all the way to the pommel and is held in place by a set screw. All of cold steel's european swords are made this way, and from my experience, they are quite durable. This sword does come with a wooden scabbard wrapped in leather and capped with a mild steel throat and chape.

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.

This could be an indication that as Mine was, It is not a full tang. These Cold Steel swords are very poor quality. I had mine pulled apart buy a highly quality Smith and he was just shaking his head at how bad this thing was put together. If I was you I would send it back and get your money back unless all you plan to do is hang it on the wall as that is all it is good for and safe to use it for. If you do pull yours apart in any way you cannot return it.Hope this helpsBek

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

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.

Hi Noah, this is a great sword with a full tang. The wrapping is not bead cord and sparsely wrapped, probably for looks. But the metal is strong, lots of carbon in it and it holds an edge much better than the cheap machete you can buy at Harbor Freight. For the price I couldn't beat it, now I am looking for some strong bead cord to wrap the handle.

Yes it is full tang. Holds a edge well and best fit and finish in this price range.

Yes, a full tang that helps to balance the blade. It is a bargain for a quality production blade and I intend to buy another.

Yes it is full tang 1060 high carbon steel sword, it does not come a stand but it comes wrapped in a sword bag. The Hattori Hanzo stands are sold on Amazon for like $19.99 and are very nice.

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.

Yes it is full tang. There seems to be a debate though over the type of steel used. According to my research this particular knife uses AUS-6 rather than AUS-8. The SOG Seal Put that does not use the designation 37N and non-serrated edge uses the AUS-8 steel. No matter, this knife has found a purpose in use. Great mid sized fixed blade for general overall use. I intend to get the straight edged Seal Pup as well. Good luck!

I believe it is full tang. It's a very very sturdy knife. I've had it and used it for about 4 years and it's in wonderful condition.

It is full tang. One of the best knife purchases I have ever made. Be sure to check state and county laws regarding this "quality cutting tool"
