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

This knife, and the other K-Bar military knives are NOT FULL TANG! Full tang means that the blade runs down the full length AND the full width of the handle. These knives have a "rat tail" tang which is only about half or less of the blade width running down the middle of the handle. They are very good knives but are not as strong as a true full tang knife. If you apply a lot of pressure side ways to the blade or use for heavy chopping they will snap off flush with the handle. A full tang knife will not

Yes,its full tang. And I'd be lost without it. This is military issue. I've used this thing to cut down trees 8'' in diameter. Just take care of it and it'll last you a life time. Its on my self reliance kit 24/7

Yes they are! You just never want to bang them around or you could chip the blade. Usually nothing sticks to them much though so that all you need is a quick wipe (careful) and then rinse in water.

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.

From what I understand the Ontario knife company like Kabar, originally made knives for the military. Their knives are supposed to be high quality. The answer to your question is yes, as I understood from the information that I had the knife is a full tang. I would not purchase a knife that wasn't.

They are not. Those are the international blades. These are Solingen steel; they don't have the same stability of superior Henkels blades but are not trash.

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.

No, this is not a true full tang knife. It has a rat tail tang, meaning it extends the full length of the handle but not even close to the full width, significantly reducing the structural durability. Be warned, this is not a bushcraft knife. This is a combat knife. It was meant for combat, not chopping down trees and processing wood. If you put it through that, don't be surprised when (not if) it breaks. Excellent design for combat use though. I'd take it to Iraq, but not the woods.

I think they are. I use mine a lot and I only watch out for the top blade loping my finger off. They are excellent by the way. AND I never lose them.

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.

Hello Marti, this knife does have a full tang blade. It's a well made blade that has the potential for most jobs.

Yes, they are supposed to be although on every blade I have used, one side does seem to be a bit sharper and last longer.

No they're full tang & very heavy duty. Kabar also has a lifetime warranty that replaces any knife that broke under Normal use.

Yes this a full tang knife. I know you can't tell by looking at the picture, but it is a well crafted and well balanced full tang knife.
