Is this a FULL TANG blade/handle??

Well, depends on your definition of "FULL TANG". It is not a full exposed tang with two separate handle scales attached to it on either side to make the handle. The tang does run nearly ( to within an inch or so) through and through the handle however. I would call it a full-length concealed tang, but not a traditional full tang. That said, this knife ( and it's tang) are a flippin' tank. You are not going to break this blade. It is as solid and robust as a knife can be. Solid knife, solid deal. I recommend it, you won't regret this purchase ( if of course you do purchase it).

I'd say yes. You can see the tang on Google "Rodan Condor" under Images. The tang goes just past the lanyard hole.

YES! The Rodan is full tang. the tang runs all the way thru the handle to about 1/4" past the last rivit. Condor was nice enough to send me a diagram of the kniife. Hope this helps Phil.

Yes it is full tang. As of yet I have had no problems with the blade holding its edge, the blade is made of Pakistani stainless steel. I've used it for batoning firewood and chopping down small trees, it works great for me.

I do not know the answer to your question but I have been told that it is not full but half tang. Here is the manufactures email so you can email them and ask them to be sure. sales@coldsteelknivesdirect.com

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.

Noah, I'm not positive if this is a full tang knife or not. As far as I know, it must have a piece of metal most, if not all the way down the handle. If you are considering buying this, I would definitley recommend it. I use it as my hunting knife and have cut through multiple deer and chopped through bone with this knife with ease. It's held up to everything I've put it through and it stays sharp as well. Best knife I've ever bought!

The way it is constructed, it is difficult to realize if it is full tang. However, I read reviews that say it is full tang. I would suggest you to go over those reviews if you have doubt. Again, I used a magnet (not very powerful for testing) to feel the tang on the handle and it felt like it is full tang. You could do the same with a powerful magnet.Good Luck.

Yes it most certainly is, as far as I know all of the knives in the BK series are full tang.

Yes it is a full tang and it is a true Damascus hand made knife. It is very nice.

No it is half tang. This weapon is definitely a full battle ready blade. If you want something like that expect to drop a pretty penny on a good blade. This sword is heavy and well made enough to do a bit if damage to someone if it came to it, but it is not for reenactments. This is a decoration piece for use for cosplay at the most.

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

No, it is not full tang. I used this machete to clear a path to my deer stand and it didn't last 20 minutes. The blade rolled when I was cutting small saplings less than an inch in diameter... Do waste your money! The Gator Jr. on the other hand did a great job and is still razor sharp. Don't know if I got a dud or what.

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!

Yes, the knife is full tang blade goes all the way through the handle to the butt of the knife

It is full tang. One of the best knife purchases I have ever made. Be sure to check state and county laws regarding this "quality cutting tool"

No, this is not a true full tang knife. It has a rat tail tang, meaning it extends the full length of the handle but not even close to the full width, significantly reducing the structural durability. Be warned, this is not a bushcraft knife. This is a combat knife. It was meant for combat, not chopping down trees and processing wood. If you put it through that, don't be surprised when (not if) it breaks. Excellent design for combat use though. I'd take it to Iraq, but not the woods.

It is a Full Tang blade as far as I can tell though I don't know if I myself can undo it

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