Unfortunately, it's only a 3/4 tang. I'm not sure if they make this model in full tang.

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 helps Bek

No, not full tang. What there is screws into a plastic handle. I've used this to easily and comfortably cut through limbs about 3/4 inch think. It's for light duty, and for this it works well. I like it.

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.

Yes it is both full tang and tempered steel. As an aside it is a fairly hard steel but a decent amount of flex for the length and size of the blade.

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 ~

I just asked my brother about the sword, because he is the owner of it, I bought for him as a birthday gift. He said is it is Full Tang and all so a great show piece.

First, I looked at the end of the tang for any lines that might indicate that the pommel was not part of the full tang and could find none. It looks like one complete piece of steel from tip to hammer/pommel.I also did a continuity check using an ohm meter and it showed as a single piece of steel.

The sword is fully tanged which means it was fully built all the way into the handle and is sharp the entire length of the blade. When I looked online I saw there are cheap versions of this sword but I paid for this fully tanged one because it is what I wanted. I maintain the blade and it is a well made great sword. Fully sharpened. Not a toy. I hope this helps.

This in not full tang. Mine separated from the hilt today (after about 2 month's worth of use). There was about a half inch insert at the end of the blade that connects to the handle.

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 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!

Yes it is a modern take of the Chinese short sword. Jian. It is very sharp and the tip is extremely pointy. Be cautious when putting into sheath as it may puncture the lining. However it is pretty great otherwise.

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.

The wood seems to be bamboo not really sturdy it wood break I am sure if you hit someone with the sheath but for holding the sword its fine.I cant say what type of steel it is it looks to be two types as it has a nice blend looking pattern where the edge is one metal and the back of the blade is another.It does hold an edge well it seems my son sharpened it and its scary sharp cut my thumb just checking it.Now is it a real fighting sword no I am sure it wouldn't hold up but it does look nice for the price and would be a nice present for a amateur collector.Do note its super bright red scabbard not wood color like he picture seems.

I don't think its a full tang(blade goes to the bottom of the handle.) I think it just stops at the hilt.
