ZombiejayNot a full tang. Tang goes from where it was inserted in the handle to the end of the "R" in MORA. How do I know this? This knife couldn't withstand the raw fury of a 20 hp riding lawnmower. Seriously, the blade was ripped out of the handle and the tang was bent. A few marks on the edge and that's it, still sharp and I've used this blade extensively. I plan on fixing the tang and making a custom handle. I've used this knife for feathersticks, splitting wood, carving pot hooks and food prep. Just ordered 4 more. One to replace the handle-less one I have and three for my kids.
