Does this have a full tang design? How much does it weigh?

No, it definitely does NOT have a full tang. However, the tang does go deep enough to hold up for it's intended use. I've hacked thumb-sized limbs off live trees in a single swing and it shows no sign of loosening up.I couldn't tell you the weight in ounces, but it's very very light. The blade is thin and sharp, but strong. With the optional cover, it's light enough to attach to your pack for long treks.

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!

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.

Pretty sure full tang but haven't taken apart to verify. There are two brass pegs though. 2 pounds maybe?

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 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

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 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.

Without a destructive dissection of the knife handle, I cannot say this knife has a full tang. Regardless, I have found this knife sturdy, and artistic in construction.

The Command II is similar to the Mark II, which is not a full tang. It is epoxied into the aluminum handle. Google MK II for pics. Love this knife, bought my first in the early 80's.

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

I don't think it is full tang but so far it has kept a nice edge on it. I would recommend it to anyone

It is full tang and also can be fully disassembled for cleaning ~ Great Training sword for the price ~ Balance point 5 1/2 " from Tsuba ~

It is indeed a full tang, the construction is solid, its just the appearance, and edge were of horrid quality lol

Im not an expert on swords but If your asking if the blade is one whole piece then yea I believe it is. I can see the screw that holds the blade into the inside of the handle so I believe it is full tang

I believe that it is a full tang. But like many knives (even those of high quality), the tang is fully-covered by the handle. A bit of the tang sticks out at the end of the knife's handle. I hope this helps.

It has a "rat tail" type tang that runs 2/3 of the length of the handle. These knives are tough and I don't think that not having a full tang hurts it at all.
