is this a full tang blade?

The knife is not full tang, if you look on its website you can see the blade stops nearly the end, so that aircraft pilots when cutting through wires accidentally or on purpose don't get shocked.

not in the traditional definition of the term...Gerber has designed a separation between the large hidden tang from the pommel/glass breaker on the end of the knife. This was designed to prevent electric shock if the knife slashed into electric wireup to reasonable voltages and there are user stories confirming this works. I would trust my life to this knife as much as any other I won.

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 this knife is not full tang. I ordered it and sent it back. It's of rather poor quality, if you're looking for a hunting knife I suggest buck knives.

I do not know the answer to your question but I have been told that it is not full but half tang. Here is the manufactures email so you can email them and ask them to be sure. sales@coldsteelknivesdirect.com

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

Not too clear on your question. If you're referring to whether it's a full tang knife. Yes it's a one full length knife where the steel extends down inside the handle all the way to the end of the grip butt. For a knife this size I think it's pretty much required that it be a full length or full tang. Hope this answers your question.

It is not a full tang but it is a 3/4 tang, I have owned the 13" blade model for many years and it out performs any other machete I have ever tried. I have used it to clear an entire acre of land and it barely needed sharpening. A true workhorse tool!

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

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!

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.

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.

Yes, it is a full tang knife. I used the pummel to sink giant tent stakes throw hard ground last summer and it worked like a champ. On YouTube there's a full review by "ultimate survival" tips or gear, unsure, best review you will find on the knife.

Yes, this is a true "full tang" knife (as are all the Beckers). I'm very pleased with my 3 beckers, and you'll have a difficult time finding a negative word on them from anyone.

Yes it is a full tang knife. Heavy and feels good in any grip senario. Hope thiss helps.

Yes, the blade is full tang... a shirasawa is designed to highlight but more importantly to protect a katana blade

It definitely is full tang, with sturdy bolts to keep it in the handle. It's an amazing machete. You'll love it

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.
