Full Tang Knives

A full tang knife has one piece of steel running from the tip through the whole handle, with no pinned or bolted joint to fail, and every knife in this collection is built that way. Blades run 3 to 18 inches, priced from $99 to $619; most are pattern-welded Damascus, the rest forged carbon steel.

About Full Tang Knives

Why are full tang knives better?

A full tang blade has no joint where it could work loose from the handle under a baton strike or a twisting cut, and the steel running the length of the grip balances the knife in hand. The trade-off is weight: a full-tang knife runs heavier than a folding or hidden-tang blade of the same length, and the extra steel and shaping raise the price.

What is a full tang knife used for?

Full tang construction suits batoning firewood, field dressing and skinning game, and any cut that puts side load on the blade. The lineup covers hunting knives, Bowie knives and camp and bushcraft knives, most with a Crownridge leather belt sheath.

Common questions

What does full tang mean on a knife?

Full tang means the blade's steel runs as one piece from the tip through the entire length of the handle, rather than a narrow tang pinned or glued inside separate scales. Every knife in this Crownridge collection is built full tang, from $99 to $619.

Are kitchen knives full tang too?

Many are. In this collection full tang covers chef knives, Serbian chef knives, fillet knives and kitchen knife sets as well as hunting and camp knives: the steel runs to the end of the handle under the scales. Each product page states the tang.

Is a hidden tang weaker than a full tang?

For hard outdoor use, usually yes: a hidden tang is a narrower rod of steel inside the handle, so there is less metal where the blade meets the grip. It suits lighter work and allows a one-piece handle. Every knife in this collection is full tang.

Are full tang knives heavier than other knives?

Yes. The steel that continues through the handle adds weight compared with a hidden tang under scales or a folding blade of the same length, which is the main trade-off for the added strength.

What handle materials come on a full tang knife?

Crownridge full-tang knives use rosewood, walnut, stag, bone, horn or pakka wood scales pinned through the exposed steel. The handle material is named on each product page alongside the steel.

What comes with a full tang knife from Crownridge?

Most ship with a Crownridge char leather belt sheath, a blade guard on kitchen pieces, or a roll for a set. Every order includes free US shipping, 30-day returns on anything without engraving, and a Limited Lifetime Warranty.
