Id look for a different knife.. Not as good as it looks. First my compass was broken when i got it (no fluid), then the compass fell completely off a week later. The blade doesnt stay sharp, and handle is uncomfortable as hell.

Stainless steel. I am not certain if it is a full tang handle. Are there ways to tell?

I believe that it is Chinese steel and no it is not a full tang knife. The handle is hollow and doubles as storage.

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

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

Yes, this is a true "full tang" knife (as are all the Beckers). I'm very pleased with my 3 beckers, and you'll have a difficult time finding a negative word on them from anyone.

The handle is full tang. So the steel runs right through the handle. The wood is Macassar ebony dymondwood. It is an outstanding knife.

The knife is made from one piece of steel. The knife is 4mm thick or just a tiny bit over 1/8th of an inch. It tapers to a point at the front end. Very well made.

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

I believe it is full tang. It's a very very sturdy knife. I've had it and used it for about 4 years and it's in wonderful condition.

Yes it is full tang, it is all one piece with the lower part just wrapped for a handle. I was very happy with it and the price is so good!

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

Yes, the blade is made of Japanese stainless steel called AUS-8. This is a very good steel with superb toughness and good edge holding capabilities. This steel is also fairly easy to sharpen with great corrosion resistance. Check your local knife laws for legality as it varies greatly. It would be a fine last ditch self defense weapon because the blade is pretty good sized, and your hand locks in very well due to a deep finger choil and a blade ramp with good jimping.

it is a rat tail tang. That makes it a full tang but not like you are thinking. It is a very nice knife.

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.

High Carbon, Stain-free Steel Cutlery. Mercer defines a `new millennium' with these knives manufactured from one piece of steel to ensure outstanding strength. Thus, yes these are full tang.

Yes, this is a full-tang cleaver with metal in one piece sandwiched by the wood to the end of the handle. It will rust though like all the Old Hickory's if not dried off and oiled after washing. We have probably ten different Old Hickory knives (we've owned some for almost 30 years) and for the money they are the best knives we've ever owned. You won't go wrong buying one.

OK guys, you are irritating me. Full means full, not partial. Here is a link to a video titled Cold Steel SRK, what can it take? >> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mN0kfBMt-5M <<At approx. 7:50 in this video they show the tang. It is NOT FULL. BTW, it's a great knife. I love mine, it's just not full tang.

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.
