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.

It is full tang and has been extremely durable. I don't have anything to measure it with right now, but it isn't too thick and def isn't too thin to be useless. I love this knife and give it as gifts to my friends.

It must be shorter. The handle is molded solid plastic so I can't tell by looking. The tang can not be seen or felt at all. The molded handle is bullet proof so tang length seems less important.

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

Yes, it is a full tang, perhaps more accurately described as a "stick tang," since the tang itself is narrower than the blade, but that is obvious just looking at the handle.

It appears to be full tang; you can see the blade run the length of the handle (also saw a review on YouTube that verified the same). It comes pretty sharp, and I was able to sharpen it more pretty easily, but haven't had the opportunity to test how long it'll hold the edge.

Partial tang. It goes down about 7 inches into the handle. Its blade heavy for throwing purposes.

Yeah there are two small wooden pegs that hold the tang in place. Not sure if this is what you mean, but I think so.

Using a business card and a neodymium magnet, I just tested the length of the tang. The magnet falls off about 1" from the butt of the handle. This tells me that it is not quite full tang.

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

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!

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 has a tail rat tang but even when it is not a full tang it is very solid. I bought mine in 2011 and I have used it plenty of times and even when it is not as pretty as it was when it was new (it has scratches in the blade and a couple of nicks on the handle) it is still my favorite knife. I have bought other knives since but after the fever of the new toy goes away they go to the display cabinet and my buck goes back to my field bag. Here is a YouTube link that you might like to see. http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=ElXM1S_eKmw&desktop_uri=%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DElXM1S_eKmw

First, I looked at the end of the tang for any lines that might indicate that the pommel was not part of the full tang and could find none. It looks like one complete piece of steel from tip to hammer/pommel.I also did a continuity check using an ohm meter and it showed as a single piece of steel.

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.
