is the blade full tang

Yes, the blade is full tang... a shirasawa is designed to highlight but more importantly to protect a katana blade

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.

The blade is very solid and true carbon steel. However it's not full tang. It's pretty sturdy but I wouldn't wreck the piece. If it was full tang it'd be perfect. I'd still recommend this piece over others I did research for a few months before purchasing.

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.

No....not full tang, more like 2/3. A you look at the picture, the tang stops about 3/4" from the last rivet closest the hilt. For the money....can't beat it! Since the weather has broke, i have used it extensively here in WV clearing brush on my property. Tears through brush and saplings up to 3-4" diameter. Holds a decent edge, and re sharpens easily. Hope this helps. Do your self a favor and spend extra money on the sheath!

The knife is full tang. In fact it is one complete piece of machined steel.

I can't answer that question. You cannot tell if this is full or half tang from the handle. The package does not state either.

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.

I've not disassembled mine but all of the reviews and descriptions I have read say that it does have a full tang. It's a beautiful sword, by the way.

it is a rat tail tang. That makes it a full tang but not like you are thinking. It is a very nice knife.

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.

Yes the sword is full tang. It extends all the way to the pommel and is held in place by a set screw. All of cold steel's european swords are made this way, and from my experience, they are quite durable. This sword does come with a wooden scabbard wrapped in leather and capped with a mild steel throat and chape.

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.

Yes, it is. There are pictures available online if the blade (with tang) minus the handle.
