Is this katana full tang?

Yes, it is. Rockwell hardness 55. Good light-medium cutter. I wouldn't use it on hard targets like green bamboo though

No. All katana's, wakizashi's and tanto's are hidden tang if they are traditionally wrapped. The question to ask is the handle, or the tsuka, the correct length vs. the nakago. The tsuka should be long enough to be used safely, maybe not more than 2:3 ratio and 3:4 is better yet for nakago to tsuka. A 7-8 inch nakago would make the tsuka about 10 inches and safe enough.

Not that I can see, it looks like about a 3/4 tang. It's only a few pounds. & very very sharp!! I got the sheath also, it makes a nice minimal EDC survival kit.

Yes, it has a full tang blade. Beware, though, it has a very cheap and poorly designed sheath.

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.

Hello Marti, this knife does have a full tang blade. It's a well made blade that has the potential for most jobs.

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

The description says that this sword is "full tang" construction, which means that the steel of the blade extends the full length of the sword from tip to pommel. I have not taken my sword apart to know first hand if this is in fact the case.....but I don't intend to use my sword in combat, so I guess it doesn't matter. It is a cool looking sword, and doesn't feel or look cheap. I am very happy with this sword and would buy from this seller and/or manufacturer again.

it is full tang,the good thing about cold steel is that theres no weld,it has a locking nut,so in heavy use,if the cross guard gets a little on the loose side you can tighten it,it is a battle ready sword,i have alot of cold steel blades,my norman is the prettiest,but i gotta tell you,there sword type machetes,like the kukri,two handed katana,cutlas and more are unbelevible for the money,they can take so much abuse,when the other brands fall apart,ps yes a scabbard is included,good luck,im sure you will injoy it,be careful,it comes razor sharp.

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.

I'm not sure if it's full tang, but my brother sharpened it a bit more after he opened it and he then proceeded to whack at everything in sight, but its still pretty sharp, barely dulled, if dulled at all.

This could be an indication that as Mine was, It is not a full tang. These Cold Steel swords are very poor quality. I had mine pulled apart buy a highly quality Smith and he was just shaking his head at how bad this thing was put together. If I was you I would send it back and get your money back unless all you plan to do is hang it on the wall as that is all it is good for and safe to use it for. If you do pull yours apart in any way you cannot return it.Hope this helpsBek

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.

Yes,its full tang. And I'd be lost without it. This is military issue. I've used this thing to cut down trees 8'' in diameter. Just take care of it and it'll last you a life time. Its on my self reliance kit 24/7

Yes, it is a full tang knife. I used the pummel to sink giant tent stakes throw hard ground last summer and it worked like a champ. On YouTube there's a full review by "ultimate survival" tips or gear, unsure, best review you will find on the knife.
