Are these knives full tang?

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!

A full tang knife or sword generally allows for increased force leveraged through the handle against the resistance of material being cut by the blade, an advantage when used against harder materials or when the blade begins to dull. A full tang also increases the amount of stock metal in the handle of the tool which can be beneficial in altering the balance point of the tool since the blade of a knife or sword is often quite heavy compared to the handle. Adding weight to the handle of a knife or sword to offset the weight of the blade moves the rotational balance point back toward the hand where it can be more easily manipulated to great effect, making for a nimble, agile tool.

I am not sure. Perhaps you can ask the company that makes them. The handle is not wood but plastic.

Partial tang, but feel like Wutang! So light and easy to chop veges and also with a larger blade allowing more "scooping" capacity.

Hi. I'm from Victorinox. The knife has a 50% tang. Most stamped knives have what's called a "rat" tang, which is usually much shorter and can sometimes come loose. The tang will never come loose from the handle and that is guaranteed in our warranty. Professionals in meat processing facilities use our knives all day long. They are balanced for the weight of the blade and handle. Knives that have a heavier blade, need a full tang for balance.

I believe they are a sort of polymer G-10 look a like. So, no i do not think they are true G-10. Still a great knife though!

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

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

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.

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 it is full tang, you can see where the blade meets the bottom of the handle. It is the exact same knife but stamped US Army.

I don't think they are. I just got them and I was expecting sharp blades and found there are brand new but not sharp at all. These do not serve my need at all. Either I send them back or find someone to sharpen them, I clearly cannot use these blades as they are!

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. :)

I don't believe they are. They are stainless steel and no where did I see that they were full tang

As far as I know all cold steel fixed blade knives are full tang. I own this knife and it appears to have a hidden tang with two hex screws and the end cap attached to the tang

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"

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, but they are not a the entire width of the handle as you can tell by the picture. For the money...awesome knives, I have 4 diff. models, pretty happy with them, they come razor sharp...I had read somewhere that their Damascus is not as hard as some Damascus, but I have not had any issues, so not sure about that comment... They are pretty sweet! nothing outhere for the money. The sheaths are pretty awesome too..all very heavy leather, very well made.

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.

From what I understand the Ontario knife company like Kabar, originally made knives for the military. Their knives are supposed to be high quality. The answer to your question is yes, as I understood from the information that I had the knife is a full tang. I would not purchase a knife that wasn't.
