Is this knife a full tang knife?

No. The blade component extends into the hollow handle about one inch (of the four-five inch handle). It appears affixed to the handle by a little six sided bolt into the blade and a hollow cross base on the inside of the hollow handle through which the end of the blade fits inside. Perhaps that end of the blade is glued into the handle cross brace. I accidentally bought a second one of these and I'm looking forward to giving it to a friend of mine with 30 wooded/marshy acres in Wisconsin. Probably my favorite economical survival knife. It's a heavy piece of shiny metal with all those extras.

Disappointingly it is not. Had I known that while on the hills making a shelter that my main tool for practice survival would come apart with a "Ching" and not be used again I would not have purchased and relied upon it. If you want a pretty knife to adorn your selfies this knife is great though.

Yes, a full tang that helps to balance the blade. It is a bargain for a quality production blade and I intend to buy another.

It is not a full tang knife. If you are using these for the kitchen dicing, chopping or slicing it isn't necessary. I have owned Rada for many years. I prefer the black handle if you use a dishwasher. They hold up well and are easy to sharpen when needed.

Yes, it is. A full tang stainless blade, micarta handle, and limited edition.

The video that convinced me to buy this knife was by Dave Canterbury, and I thought he said it was full tang. Yes, I do prefer a full tang knife, but I have now purchased three of these, and they are a fantastic knife.

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!!

Yes, this is a true "full tang" knife (as are all the Beckers). I'm very pleased with my 3 beckers, and you'll have a difficult time finding a negative word on them from anyone.

It is a FIXED blade knife. No it is NOT full tang there is some space left in the bottom of the handle. It is not a folding knife...Amazon is wrong. But this knife can take a beating as much as a full tang. Check out the abuse videos on youtube.

It is not a full tang, but it's about 3/4 of the handle. The handle is bigger in diameter and in length compared to the regular mora. The blade is thicker too.

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

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

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

Yes it is a full tang and it is a true Damascus hand made knife. It is very nice.

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

I am not 100% sure but I can't imagine this knife not being full tang because this is one strong bad ass knife for the price, I have killed 4 pigs with it so far with the biggest being a 242 lb boar, I would bet you could run over it with a truck and it wouldn't break , it is well worth every penny!

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.
