Is it full tang, or something like 3/4th tang?

No it's not full tang. I haven't gotten a chance to do a full review on here but I'll give you the gist of it. The yellow paint is kinda sloppy so I touched it up with car model paint. Blue paint is nice but it's ocarina of time blue not twilight princess color. IT'S NOT FOR PLAYING OR EVEN CARRYING AROUND JUST FOR DISPLAY. The blade feels like it's going to break of the handle when you swing it but so far it hasn't for me. Overall I give it a 7/10 but with the paint touch ups it's an 8/10. Hope this helps.

It's a half tang. In the handle, the metal is full width, but only partial length.

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.

Yes it is full tang. Holds a edge well and best fit and finish in this price range.

Yes it is full tang. There seems to be a debate though over the type of steel used. According to my research this particular knife uses AUS-6 rather than AUS-8. The SOG Seal Put that does not use the designation 37N and non-serrated edge uses the AUS-8 steel. No matter, this knife has found a purpose in use. Great mid sized fixed blade for general overall use. I intend to get the straight edged Seal Pup as well. Good luck!

No....not full tang, more like 2/3. A you look at the picture, the tang stops about 3/4" from the last rivet closest the hilt. For the money....can't beat it! Since the weather has broke, i have used it extensively here in WV clearing brush on my property. Tears through brush and saplings up to 3-4" diameter. Holds a decent edge, and re sharpens easily. Hope this helps. Do your self a favor and spend extra money on the sheath!

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.

The video that convinced me to buy this knife was by Dave Canterbury, and I thought he said it was full tang. Yes, I do prefer a full tang knife, but I have now purchased three of these, and they are a fantastic knife.

The tang goes below the lanyard hole, so some would call it a full tang while others might call it a 3/4 tang because it is fully enclosed in the handle and no part is exposed.

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 and a complete waste of money. I sent mine back. Do not buy.

Yes it is full tang. It is great show piece. I only wish that it was really Japanese.

It is not full tang. It is affixed extremely well top the handle though and isn't chinsy. I seriously doubt you or anyone else is going to break it. It's a big heavy duty chopping machine that can take heavy use. If your looking for a reason not to buy only thing I can think of is cheap looking sheath though it's solid and works fine. Also mine didn't come very sharp and I immediately put it on my wicked edge system

It is a full tang, and very well fastened with brass hardware. I have had one since 1978 without issue.

I do not know for certain, but from the weight, balance and price, I would imagine that it is not full tang.
