Are the handles full tang or is each handle separately joined to the opener part?

Chris, the handles as you see in the pic are separate and are joined to the oper part. This is a very efficient and easy to use hand can opener. Also the turning piece is soft to use especially if you need it. It opens the with not effort. I highly recommended. I do not let anybody else use it...it is mine... :)

The handles are definitely welded on securely. It looks like a three spot weld. Compared to an old stainless steel set that I had, this looks much better.

Yes, the blade is full tang.It extends past the handle scales and has an exposed portion for hammering or light prying jobs.

You will be more disappointed the fact that the handle is plastic. advice find a better because you won't be happy with the price quality ratio. just how i felt about it yes full tang but couldn't tell you about the edge i bought it was disappointed and put it up never used

The handles are riveted in with a single rivet for each joint -- you could either saw off (hack saw) the rivets or the handle itself

While the tang is hidden by the handle, I assume its is a full tang knife. It is a great knife and remains incredibly sharp. I use it for most of my slicing and chopping but will switch out to a German chefs knife or a cleaver when a task requiring brute force is needed as I want to protect this knives from possible damage. It is the same basic knife as the classic series, but the copper layering make it visually beautiful and unique.

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"

Yes. Each size opening has 2 sizes to it, and the handles open enough to accomodate 1/4 to 1/2 inch either way. I love this opener!

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

Full tang solid. Should be as good as a small hammer for breaking a window.

Well, depends on your definition of "FULL TANG". It is not a full exposed tang with two separate handle scales attached to it on either side to make the handle. The tang does run nearly ( to within an inch or so) through and through the handle however. I would call it a full-length concealed tang, but not a traditional full tang. That said, this knife ( and it's tang) are a flippin' tank. You are not going to break this blade. It is as solid and robust as a knife can be. Solid knife, solid deal. I recommend it, you won't regret this purchase ( if of course you do purchase it).

Not 100% sure. I can tell you that there's a bolt at the end of the knife to unscrew in the event that you want to attach it to a spear without the knife handle. That would lead me to believe the knife is "full tang". You'll like this knife.

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.

It is a real temper line. It has a fuller groove. I don't know if it's a forged tang or welded I haven't had the handle off.

It is not full tang but it is sturdy. I practice cutting with it. Cuts nice.

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
