Buck 105 ("Pathfinder") question

[Yosemite Sam]

Do these knives offer full tang construction? Or some sort of tang-into-the-handle? Are any of the low priced Buck fixed blades built this way?

Thanks in advance,

Paraglock,
I am not sure I understand what you mean about "low-priced" fixed blade knives from Buck. I can tell you that the 105 and other models in the 100 series of fixed blades are of full tang construction. If you will look at the pommel, you can see where it is pinned through the tang. In other words, the blade/tang is of one piece and extends all the way to the pommel. I hope this answers your question.

Hi Larry. That's exactly what I meant. Thank you.

The "lower priced" comment was meaning less than $100. I didn't realize the Buck/Strider 888 was the first fixed blade collaboration project (ie, "expensive") Buck was producing. I just assumed there were other Buck fixed blade models in the > $100 range.

Thanks again!

It's a great knife, full-tang construction. The first fixed blade knife I ever owned, and 16 years later it's still going strong.
