It appears to be ,but the handle is covered so I can't tell for sure. I would say yes.

No this knife is not full tang. I ordered it and sent it back. It's of rather poor quality, if you're looking for a hunting knife I suggest buck knives.

Hello Marti, this knife does have a full tang blade. It's a well made blade that has the potential for most jobs.

Michael, yes this knife has a full length tang. From the blade guard to the pommel the tang is covered with leather rings. It's durable and fits well in your hand. It also reduces slippage due to perspiring.

I am not 100% sure but I can't imagine this knife not being full tang because this is one strong bad ass knife for the price, I have killed 4 pigs with it so far with the biggest being a 242 lb boar, I would bet you could run over it with a truck and it wouldn't break , it is well worth every penny!

It has a "rat tail" type tang that runs 2/3 of the length of the handle. These knives are tough and I don't think that not having a full tang hurts it at all.

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 don't know if it is full tang. The grip design shows a seam but not the tang, so it is doubtfully full tanged. That being said...I have never been disappointed in Cold Steel or Lynn Thompson's designs since buying my first Tanto in 1984/85. I have never experienced any type of failure, other than wear induced finish flaws, in any of the multitude of his knives of various types and designs I have purchased, used and abused shamelessly and without remorse or regret. :)

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

I don't think it is full tang but so far it has kept a nice edge on it. I would recommend it to anyone

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 .. 1095 HC it has a really rough Finnish on it that is very strong.. 1095 HC can rust though so if u rem oil it it'll b fine this is honestly my favorite knife I own and definitely the toughest knife out there it sharpens up very well and stays sharp the handle is ok but if you want u can upgrade that or put the tennis racket grips over the existing handle to give it more grip the sheath at first I thought it wasn't to great but I now really like it .. It is definitely the best knife for 80 $ out there for the cash you are not going to brake this knife

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.

While the tang is hidden by the handle, I assume its is a full tang knife. It is a great knife and remains incredibly sharp. I use it for most of my slicing and chopping but will switch out to a German chefs knife or a cleaver when a task requiring brute force is needed as I want to protect this knives from possible damage. It is the same basic knife as the classic series, but the copper layering make it visually beautiful and unique.

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.

I took a look at it this morning and you cannot see the blade go all the way down the knife (the handle covers it completely), but it is definitely as heavy in the handle as it is in the blade. I am 99% sure it is a full tang, but cannot guarantee it!
