Half Tang Knives

Knives built with a partial tang, where the steel extends part way into the handle rather than the full length. This makes for a lighter knife and allows handle shapes that a full tang cannot, which is why the construction persists in traditional and decorative patterns. It is not as strong as full tang under prying loads, so these suit light cutting and display rather than heavy field work. If you need a hard-use blade, look at our full tang fixed blades instead.
