that'd be pretty intense if it did, i wouldnt even worry about that, its extremely durable with the tang it has

No its not. The tang finishes about 2 inches after the last rivet. The rest just the polypropylene handle. But its not a weak machete. Definitely hard use. Takes a good edge.

No, but it doesn't need it. Goes plenty far into the handle, just don't split wood with it and just hold on to the very end of the handle lol. The handle is very long, so if you use it like a katana, you can get a good deal of speed to cut through brush and small diameter woody vegetation. I cut 2" diameter dogwood right down to the dirt no problem.

Yes the sword is full tang. It extends all the way to the pommel and is held in place by a set screw. All of cold steel's european swords are made this way, and from my experience, they are quite durable. This sword does come with a wooden scabbard wrapped in leather and capped with a mild steel throat and chape.

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

That tang goes all the way through the handle and you can see where it exits at the end. So yes, it's full tang.

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!

No, it definitely does NOT have a full tang. However, the tang does go deep enough to hold up for it's intended use. I've hacked thumb-sized limbs off live trees in a single swing and it shows no sign of loosening up.I couldn't tell you the weight in ounces, but it's very very light. The blade is thin and sharp, but strong. With the optional cover, it's light enough to attach to your pack for long treks.

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

no it is not a full tang. if it were a full tang knife, the handle would be sandwiched between grip panels, with the tang exposed on the edges. this knife has a rat-tail/stick/narrow tang which does extend through the length of the handle (except for the last 1/4" of rubber) and yes, ontario knives are some of the best budget blades you can find. it's sad that so many are uneducated in knife physiology and yet so willing to give false information. btw, i can say that because i've studied bladesmithing and knifemaking for years.

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.

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.

I believe that it is a full tang. But like many knives (even those of high quality), the tang is fully-covered by the handle. A bit of the tang sticks out at the end of the knife's handle. I hope this helps.

very sturdy and heavy, it is full tang. Not sharp out of the box but that can be remedied

I'm not sure if it's full tang, but my brother sharpened it a bit more after he opened it and he then proceeded to whack at everything in sight, but its still pretty sharp, barely dulled, if dulled at all.

No, knife is not full tang. But feels very much so, one of the best grips you can find on a knife. Handle is made of a shaped plastic that does not ever look or fell like it will fall of. (Feels like you are holding a full tang knife) Hope that helps!
