Full tang knives

Full tang (increased durability)

— knives for operations and work, in which there are increased loads on the blade and handle. The shank of the blade in their design continues until the end of the handle, usually it has the same thickness as the blade. The handle itself usually consists of two pads, planted on rivets or hidden pins. But there are other versions: with a solid metal or cast polymer handle. In such cases, full tang knives can be identified by several distinguishing features – a protruding shank at the end, a lanyard hole through which a metal shank is visible, etc. Note that full tang knives are not folded a priori. Most often they are presented in the categories of everyday, camping and throwing knives (see the corresponding types).
