Does the blade secure inside of the handle?

The blade feels secure, but with its weight it is a bad idea to try and swing it around, if you do the will more than likely come off, its a display piece, not a toy, its fine to carry around and hang but it Is NOT meant to be a toy or cosplay item

It is rat tail tang so dont go swinging it around. If you swing it the blade will fall out most likely

Absolutly not, it is a cast iron handle. This is a wall hanger and nothing but. If ur looking for a battle ready replica as accurate as this ur gonna have to look at a different site

The blade is very secure inside the hilt but I don't recommend hitting it against hard objects

Yes it does, you can see the hole in the grip, that goes through the same steel the blade is made of.

No. But the blade is secure when closed. It never opens on me on accident being an open assisted knife.

No. The handle is comprised of high impact polypropylene mounted with six screws, that's the weak point. If you're going to throw it place your hand up to the hilt/halfway up the handle. Good luck!

Mine is very secure and would carry the knife upside down. The knife does rattle somewhat, however.

Yes. It locks quite well. There is a lock release just below the blade on the inner portion of the knife when you want to close it.

Yes it does and the lock is strong and dependable, has two thumb tabs to speed deployment of blade also

Zytel sheath has a lock in it. So the knife will stay in the sheath even when not snapped. It's not a super tight lock, just enough to keep it in the sheath.

No. The tang only goes about 2/3 of the way into the handle, but I use it pretty heavily and it hasn't broken on me. It doesn't wobble either.

Sadly no. It snaps into place and is great for things like whittling wood, and general knife-use tasks, but if you require a true locked blade, this won't be it. Hope this helps. J.

the middle of the handle fits pretty snug in the sheath. Unless you're carrying it upside down for an extended period of time, I don't see it being a problem, and let me say, it's an awesome knife for the price!

No, the blade fold open and closed. They do not lock in position once opened.

Yes, when the blade is opened it is locked in place by a spring loaded tab that rests against the base of the blade. It is released by a side movement with the thumb, not too unique as many brands have this feature.

It can, but it isn't designed too. There are two screws that hold the blade in place. If you take those out, you can remove the blade, and likewise you can slide the blade back into the grip and place them back in. If you do this, however, there WILL be a slight bit of rattle in the blade. Nothing a little locktite probably can't handle though.

Yes. from the description:D-shaped handle fits in the palm and provides comfort and control, keeping the knife's handle secure in the hand during use.Available standard in D-shaped handle styles or by special order in reverse D-shaped handle styles.

Yes, the blade does lock in place, and the spring assist works great. Overall, it's a great knife.

No. The blade component extends into the hollow handle about one inch (of the four-five inch handle). It appears affixed to the handle by a little six sided bolt into the blade and a hollow cross base on the inside of the hollow handle through which the end of the blade fits inside. Perhaps that end of the blade is glued into the handle cross brace. I accidentally bought a second one of these and I'm looking forward to giving it to a friend of mine with 30 wooded/marshy acres in Wisconsin. Probably my favorite economical survival knife. It's a heavy piece of shiny metal with all those extras.
