Is this machete full tang? 1 solid piece of metal or two parts (metal/handle)?

No, not full tang. What there is screws into a plastic handle. I've used this to easily and comfortably cut through limbs about 3/4 inch think. It's for light duty, and for this it works well. I like it.

Not full tang, no. I was disappointed about that until I used it. This machete surprised me! I don

I don't Know for sure because the handle covers completly. You can't see it, But it is very well constructed, I don't think it can come off easily and its very confortable compare to regular machetes.

No, it is not full tang. I used this machete to clear a path to my deer stand and it didn't last 20 minutes. The blade rolled when I was cutting small saplings less than an inch in diameter... Do waste your money! The Gator Jr. on the other hand did a great job and is still razor sharp. Don't know if I got a dud or what.

I think it may be 2 parts but I'm not sure. I do think the knife is great for the price.

I'm not 100% sure but I think it's 2 partsI have received so many questions regarding this knife. I think it's great for the price. It's not the best but I love it. I use it to clear lanes in high grass for early archery season hunting. The saw blade is an excellent part of the deal as well.

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 it's solid all through the handle is metal you can tell when you tap on it it's very stable would not sharpen it and use it as a sword though it's way off balance

Pretty sure full tang but haven't taken apart to verify. There are two brass pegs though. 2 pounds maybe?

Yes it is full tang, it is all one piece with the lower part just wrapped for a handle. I was very happy with it and the price is so good!

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.

Yes it is both full tang and tempered steel. As an aside it is a fairly hard steel but a decent amount of flex for the length and size of the blade.

Steel. It appears to be stainless. It does not appear to be full tang though.

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 is full tang,the good thing about cold steel is that theres no weld,it has a locking nut,so in heavy use,if the cross guard gets a little on the loose side you can tighten it,it is a battle ready sword,i have alot of cold steel blades,my norman is the prettiest,but i gotta tell you,there sword type machetes,like the kukri,two handed katana,cutlas and more are unbelevible for the money,they can take so much abuse,when the other brands fall apart,ps yes a scabbard is included,good luck,im sure you will injoy it,be careful,it comes razor sharp.

Not that I can see, it looks like about a 3/4 tang. It's only a few pounds. & very very sharp!! I got the sheath also, it makes a nice minimal EDC survival kit.

Yes it is full tang. As of yet I have had no problems with the blade holding its edge, the blade is made of Pakistani stainless steel. I've used it for batoning firewood and chopping down small trees, it works great for me.

Yes it is full tang....this is a sturdy weapon and can be used in a fight. No bolts or screws, they did a very good job in constructing this gladius.

It has a rat tang. The steel goes all the way through the Handle but it is really thin in the handle
