Is this knife full tang?

Does anyone know if the 8.1 inch blade model is also 3/4 rat tail tang style? Had not seen 8.1 inch as choice before, so this is a New model?

No, 3/4 tang I believe, but I wouldn't count it out at this price. There are youtube vids of folks batoning with 3/4 tang Moras, though with this blade thickness and tang that may not be best. Haven't used that way, but it is still providing good service for the things for which knives are really intended. This web page gives a lot of info and lists the few Moras that are full tang: http://www.ragweedforge.com/SwedishKnifeCatalog.html

Pretty sure not a full tang. Researching the issue I found this link:http://www.cheftalk.com/t/55184/not-a-full-tangI'm a chef and the knife is beautifully balanced and shows no sign of becoming unstable or loose. I have 2 Shun classic knives and both are excellent - a 9" slicer and the 8" chef knife

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.

Without a destructive dissection of the knife handle, I cannot say this knife has a full tang. Regardless, I have found this knife sturdy, and artistic in construction.

Yes, it is Full Tang, and it does hold a good edge. You'll be happy with this knife.

Not too sure about the tang. However it is very chinsy and I doubt it's full tang. I bought this knife and immediately returned it. I suggest a buck knife. Or a k bar which ar full tang and cheap.

Yes, this knife has a full tang that extends all throughout the handle to be fixed to the brass butt/guard. It's a great knife: solid thick blade for its size, finger guard, handy grips, very comfortable in the hand while at work, features a 4 1/8" drop point, 420HC stainless steel blade (one of Buck's best), which holds a sharp edge well and is easy to be sharpened if needed to. A great skinner and all around camping, working and outdoor knife with 'civil' and appealing looks. Easy to carry! Can't get wrong with this!!

The knife is full tang. In fact it is one complete piece of machined steel.

Idk the weight but the tang goes in half way and then theres a hole in the end of the knife kid of like the rambo knives. So no its not full tang but in my opinion just as good

No, not full tang. What there is screws into a plastic handle. I've used this to easily and comfortably cut through limbs about 3/4 inch think. It's for light duty, and for this it works well. I like it.

No, it is not a full tang. It runs out about 1.5 inches away from the butt end of the handle. That being said, unless you are planning on using this thing to beat the living hell out of a rock, I don't think you will have much to worry about. Please let me reiterate a point I made in my review. For the money, this knife is one hell of a deal. I currently have four survival knives: The Gerber Bear Grylls, a Becker BK-2, a Mora and an Ontario Blackbird SK-5. I'm very actively involved in woodcraft/bushcraft. And I really like the Bear Grylls. Now having said that, if I could go back and order something different, I would get the fine blade knife (no serrations). I'm not cutting a lot of rope..so a serration is not something I want. Also, they have a newer version which has not only the fine edge, but also it's full tang construction. It costs a little more money. I think they're about $100 dollars or so. So if full tang is a real priority for you and you want a 3/16" thick one piece survival knife, that's probably how I'd go. Any other questions, just ask. :)

I cannot determine if there is a Full tang. The handle is very solid, but I don't know how long the tang is. It does not go through to the end of the wooden handle like other Chinese knives that I own.

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

I believe it is full tang. The metal runs through the handle. I have not use it in the field or torture tested one. But this knife is very nice and feels rock solid. It will be by my Ka-bar knife in my collection.

this knife has a 3/4 tang. It is not a full tang but has a reputation for durability.

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.
