It's not full tang. There is another review on youtube and also on bladeforums where handle broke near lanyard on the first hiking trip. I think it's kind of funny that everyone expects $100+ knife to have full tang and doesn't even ask the questions so manufacturer silently slips in a silent one.

@niekas Do you even own this knife or are you making this comment of something you read on an internet forum? I own the knife, and have cleaned it. ITS FULL TANG!! LOL you're funny :) Think before you make a comment next time....

[ryanjcus]

@niekas Also................ its not a 100 dollar plus knife. If you paid that much for it than you're an idiot.

@ryanjcus Sorry he is right.The final little point of the handle can bend and break,it happened to mine...

damn that is a mean blade. I like how it chops very nicely, kinda reminds me of a Ontario RTAK II or a TOPS Armaggedon, but significantly cheaper. Do you think my trust will be well placed in buying it?

@ToddIngram1000 Hatchets make quick work. However if you had just one tool a large knife like that looks like you can handle it all. Can't do too fine work or too heavy work, but a bit of everything. I like the becker knives for the same applications.

[ToddIngram1000]

@Jestlow the point of having a survival knife is so you can do all the things a knife can do, and some of what a hatchet can do.

@happyface604 a machete is really thin, and fast. This is thick and slow

[justyoustupid]

@happyface604 machetes are thin and fast, thats a heavy duty survival knife.

Buy an axe! Watching chopping and spitting with even a large knife is painful compared to a small hatchet.  Have to say the video is very well done though.
