Is the blade full tang?

I am sorry, I do not have an answer for you. The Tang is fully hidden as soon as it hits the hilt. The rest of the blade is very solidly made so perhaps it is full tang, but yeah I have no way of knowing without taking it apart. I use it decoratively, as well. EDIT: after reading through the more recent reviews, I did find another user that claims he believes it is only half tang. He tested this by striking the hand on the two different wood pieces and the higher piece had a different sound than the lower. He then put a magnet on it, and it stuck to the higher piece but not the lower. This would indicate metal inside the higher piece but not the lower. Hope that helps.

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.

Yes it is full tang, you can see where the blade meets the bottom of the handle. It is the exact same knife but stamped US Army.

Yes it most certainly is, as far as I know all of the knives in the BK series are full tang.

Yes, it has a full tang. This is a very good quality knife at a bargain price. I just ordered four more for Christmas gifts.

I don't claim to be a knife expert. If I understand "full tang" it is difficult to tell if the end of the knife blade is inside the wood handle, but based on the balance and weight it appears to be. Hope this helps.

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.

A Full Tang knife is just that, FULL. If the tang is molded into the sheath and not exposed the entire length of the scales (handle) then the knife IS NOT a Full Tang Blade. There are some knives that have tangs that run the full length of the handle even though you cannot see them. These are not considered FT but something else entirely.So NO, the answer is No.

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

I believe it does but not full width. Meaning the blade tang is not the same size as the blade. This is a great knife!

Yes, it is. There are pictures available online if the blade (with tang) minus the handle.

Michael, yes this knife has a full length tang. From the blade guard to the pommel the tang is covered with leather rings. It's durable and fits well in your hand. It also reduces slippage due to perspiring.

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.

Not too clear on your question. If you're referring to whether it's a full tang knife. Yes it's a one full length knife where the steel extends down inside the handle all the way to the end of the grip butt. For a knife this size I think it's pretty much required that it be a full length or full tang. Hope this answers your question.

Well, it is supposed to be a full tang. I had to try it out and had some 1-1 1/2 inch tree limbs to prune I used my sword it went through like hot knife through butter. It is very sharp and I believe combat capable.

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.

Yes it is full tang....this is a sturdy weapon and can be used in a fight. No bolts or screws, they did a very good job in constructing this gladius.

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