Do these knives have a full metal tang, or is the blade pushed into a handle?

While not a full metal tang,it does fit quite a ways into the handle. I had an issue with one of the knives. I emailed the company and they sent me a new one. No questions asked!

The Steak knives are full metal tang - the others are inserted into the handle.

Based on the weight it is either full tang or close. There is no exposed medal on the handle from the tang though.

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.

Its a full tang. I own one and my son owns one.. They are awesome! My son carried his in the field in the Army and beat it to death. You wont break it, he dug holes pounded tent stakes and chopped with it for a year and its still in good shape. I wouldnt worry about being made in Taiwan. Taiwanese quality is great.. They make wonderful knives there.

I don't claim to be a knife expert. If I understand "full tang" it is difficult to tell if the end of the knife blade is inside the wood handle, but based on the balance and weight it appears to be. Hope this helps.

Yes this a full tang knife. I know you can't tell by looking at the picture, but it is a well crafted and well balanced full tang knife.

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

No it is a rat tail tang, goes about 1/2-2/3 into the molded handle.The knives are very strong, I have battoned through frozen oak 2 1/2 inches thick very easily. Use common sense, this is a knife not a hatchet, or pry bar.

Partial tang. It goes down about 7 inches into the handle. Its blade heavy for throwing purposes.

Yes, this knife has a full tang that extends all throughout the handle to be fixed to the brass butt/guard. It's a great knife: solid thick blade for its size, finger guard, handy grips, very comfortable in the hand while at work, features a 4 1/8" drop point, 420HC stainless steel blade (one of Buck's best), which holds a sharp edge well and is easy to be sharpened if needed to. A great skinner and all around camping, working and outdoor knife with 'civil' and appealing looks. Easy to carry! Can't get wrong with this!!

Not too clear on your question. If you're referring to whether it's a full tang knife. Yes it's a one full length knife where the steel extends down inside the handle all the way to the end of the grip butt. For a knife this size I think it's pretty much required that it be a full length or full tang. Hope this answers your question.

Yes full tang with mikarta (plastic like) handle. As I prefer wood I make my own handles

Yes, full tang. Mine arrived fairly sharp in the box and I just cleaned it up with a smooth stone. Blade is so impressively heavy and thick that it will power through whatever you swing it at. Think short sword.

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

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.

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.

Yes, the blade is full tang.It extends past the handle scales and has an exposed portion for hammering or light prying jobs.
