Is the blade full tang? (I.e. the metal of the blade goes through the handle)

I'm honestly not sure, but I'll say this, it's fine to carry around, but this is a display item, do not try to swing it around

From taking a look at it it appears the blade does go up through the handle. Looking at the end of the handle you could see a piece of metal. Also it is weighted in the handle which feels as if the blade goes all the way through.

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.

That tang goes all the way through the handle and you can see where it exits at the end. So yes, it's full tang.

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.

It's half (or 2/3) tang, but considering that the handle is longer than the blade, it's as good as full tang. So far I haven't had any problems out of it, but I don't go hardcore testing with it. I just skin a few deers with it.

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.

You cannot see the tang through the handle to tell whether it has a full tang, but according to one review I found here http://www.modernbushman.com/2011/09/23/cold-steel-kukri-machete-97km-a-must-have-survival-tool/ , it is full.

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.

If by full tang you mean the blade is one piece of metal that goes through the length of the handle, then yes. On the very back-end of the handle, is a protruding section of the metal that can be used to crack-open items.

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.

From the pins in the handle it looks full tang. I don't know, I don't have a knife like that.

This is full tang, it goes through the handle and is screwed into the pommel. It is made in China so I am not sure about the steel.

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 appears to be full tang; you can see the blade run the length of the handle (also saw a review on YouTube that verified the same). It comes pretty sharp, and I was able to sharpen it more pretty easily, but haven't had the opportunity to test how long it'll hold the edge.

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. According to the Morakniv website - this is a Rat Tail tang knife, and NOT a full tang knife. Rat tail tang refers to the blade thinning in size inside the handle, and being either secured with a screw or embedded (moulded) within the handle material itself.
