How does this knife compare to the Garberg? It looks very similar minus the metal pommel leading me to believe that this may not be a full tang.

Kansbol has a slimmer blade and isn't full-tang. Additionally, it's thinned out near the tip. The Garberg handle material is less grippy but much tougher.
Kansbol will be better for food prep, fine carving, skinning, and processing game — it's a better cutter. Garberg will be better for batoning and splitting, and for last-ditch survival.
They use the same sheath and have the same handle geometry.
If you carry a hatchet, get the Kansbol. If you don't ever hammer your knife through trees, get the Kansbol. If you come from the ESEE/Fällkniven/TOPS school of knives, you'll be happiest with the Garberg — compared to an ESEE, it's a lightweight cutting machine.

NoReason24The Kansbol has a thinner blade, a 3/4 tang, is half the weight and half the price.
