>>178022>>177995>>178053>>178055You people do realize that whether a knife has a rat tail tang has nothing to do with whether it's a full tang knife or not, right?
Every knife in this picture is a full tang knife. Only one has slab handles.
And the idiotic idea that only a knife with a full width tang requiring slab handles will do is less than 200 years old. It's also amazingly stupid, as longswords, cavalry sabers, short swords, gladius, rapiers, smallswords, daggers, puukko, leuku, samshir, seaxes, and literally thousands of other edged knives and knife-like implements have been used successfully without full tangs since before recorded history. Hell, the Greeks did it with bronze blades.
