Does tis knife have a full tang?

Yes. It's a great knife. Doesn't hold a sharp edge as long as others though. But nothing a few sharpening stones can't fix.

Pretty sure not a full tang. Researching the issue I found this link:http://www.cheftalk.com/t/55184/not-a-full-tangI'm a chef and the knife is beautifully balanced and shows no sign of becoming unstable or loose. I have 2 Shun classic knives and both are excellent - a 9" slicer and the 8" chef knife

While the tang is hidden by the handle, I assume its is a full tang knife. It is a great knife and remains incredibly sharp. I use it for most of my slicing and chopping but will switch out to a German chefs knife or a cleaver when a task requiring brute force is needed as I want to protect this knives from possible damage. It is the same basic knife as the classic series, but the copper layering make it visually beautiful and unique.

Not quite, about 3/4 of the handle, I believe there is a picture of it without the handle on YouTube. Helle makes this style of knife with full tang for a little more money. Either Brand is very well made.

I don't know if it is full tang. The grip design shows a seam but not the tang, so it is doubtfully full tanged. That being said...I have never been disappointed in Cold Steel or Lynn Thompson's designs since buying my first Tanto in 1984/85. I have never experienced any type of failure, other than wear induced finish flaws, in any of the multitude of his knives of various types and designs I have purchased, used and abused shamelessly and without remorse or regret. :)

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!

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.

It is indeed a "rat tail" tang, a fairly substantial one and should be plenty strong as the ka-bar's were for years and years. Fallkniven makes a knife very similar to this and a full tang design where it is exposed at the butt of the handle. I prefer the fallkniven to the srk, but the srk will still be very useful.try a google search for "coldsteel srk tang photo: and you will see the tang. I wouldn't call it "full" but it's not a skinny rat tail either.

It is full tang. One of the best knife purchases I have ever made. Be sure to check state and county laws regarding this "quality cutting tool"

Yes it is full tang, it is all one piece with the lower part just wrapped for a handle. I was very happy with it and the price is so good!

If you mean true full tang, no the tang is not as wide as the blade. The tang is one piece with the blade, so guess you can call it a reduced tang if you wish. I have owned many Buck knives of various models over the years (about 50+ years) and still have them all except one. Not because it broke or wore out. You just simply cannot go wrong with a Buck knife. There are several good knife makers today and Buck would certainly rank #1 along with the other excellent makers. Buck stands behind there product. Go to their website and read all about them.

Well, depends on your definition of "FULL TANG". It is not a full exposed tang with two separate handle scales attached to it on either side to make the handle. The tang does run nearly ( to within an inch or so) through and through the handle however. I would call it a full-length concealed tang, but not a traditional full tang. That said, this knife ( and it's tang) are a flippin' tank. You are not going to break this blade. It is as solid and robust as a knife can be. Solid knife, solid deal. I recommend it, you won't regret this purchase ( if of course you do purchase it).

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

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.

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

I believe it is full tang. It's a very very sturdy knife. I've had it and used it for about 4 years and it's in wonderful condition.

this knife has a 3/4 tang. It is not a full tang but has a reputation for durability.

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!
