Is this a full tang knife?

No, it is not a full tang. It runs out about 1.5 inches away from the butt end of the handle. That being said, unless you are planning on using this thing to beat the living hell out of a rock, I don't think you will have much to worry about. Please let me reiterate a point I made in my review. For the money, this knife is one hell of a deal. I currently have four survival knives: The Gerber Bear Grylls, a Becker BK-2, a Mora and an Ontario Blackbird SK-5. I'm very actively involved in woodcraft/bushcraft. And I really like the Bear Grylls. Now having said that, if I could go back and order something different, I would get the fine blade knife (no serrations). I'm not cutting a lot of rope..so a serration is not something I want. Also, they have a newer version which has not only the fine edge, but also it's full tang construction. It costs a little more money. I think they're about $100 dollars or so. So if full tang is a real priority for you and you want a 3/16" thick one piece survival knife, that's probably how I'd go. Any other questions, just ask. :)

I took a look at it this morning and you cannot see the blade go all the way down the knife (the handle covers it completely), but it is definitely as heavy in the handle as it is in the blade. I am 99% sure it is a full tang, but cannot guarantee it!

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.

This knife is not full tang. Its about half i believe. That does not hold this blade back from being a great knife. I have one, I field dressed a deer with it, did great. This knife is fantastic for in the field, it is sharp, it is light, and if used as a knife and not a hatchet, it will last forever. This is not a survival knife... this is just a good hunting knife/backup knife for your pack when you are carrying one of those bulky bushcraft monsters.

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.

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

Yes it is full tang. There seems to be a debate though over the type of steel used. According to my research this particular knife uses AUS-6 rather than AUS-8. The SOG Seal Put that does not use the designation 37N and non-serrated edge uses the AUS-8 steel. No matter, this knife has found a purpose in use. Great mid sized fixed blade for general overall use. I intend to get the straight edged Seal Pup as well. Good luck!

Noah, I'm not positive if this is a full tang knife or not. As far as I know, it must have a piece of metal most, if not all the way down the handle. If you are considering buying this, I would definitley recommend it. I use it as my hunting knife and have cut through multiple deer and chopped through bone with this knife with ease. It's held up to everything I've put it through and it stays sharp as well. Best knife I've ever bought!

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 full tang. It is great show piece. I only wish that it was really Japanese.

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

From what I understand the Ontario knife company like Kabar, originally made knives for the military. Their knives are supposed to be high quality. The answer to your question is yes, as I understood from the information that I had the knife is a full tang. I would not purchase a knife that wasn't.

It is full tang and has been extremely durable. I don't have anything to measure it with right now, but it isn't too thick and def isn't too thin to be useless. I love this knife and give it as gifts to my friends.

I cannot determine if there is a Full tang. The handle is very solid, but I don't know how long the tang is. It does not go through to the end of the wooden handle like other Chinese knives that I own.

It is not full tang but it is sturdy. I practice cutting with it. Cuts nice.

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