Do any of the Cold Steel 3V fixed blades have a true full tang?

[Fixall]

Hello, I hope you are all doing well today!

I'm just wondering if anyone happens to know if any (and if so which) Cold Steel 3v knives feature a full tang rather than a rat tang? I've found x-rays of a model or two that show a rat tang, but wasn't able to find much info on the other models.

This isn't a strength issue. I'm hoping to use one of the 3V knives as a blank (since the heat treat seems solid) and would rather work with a full tang instead of a hidden tang because of my (lack of) skill.

Thanks!

The Warcraft Tantos all have full tangs, though they are tapered. The AK-47 Field Knife is full-width, full-tang.

I only have one CS fixed blade knife, the AK-47 in 3V and it's full tang.

I have Warcraft Tanto - and it's a full tang knife, tapered for balance and let's be honest - there won't be much forces at the bottom of the tang, and as shock disperses through blade, not much will come to the bottom of the tang.
You have 3 sizes - medium, large and magnum.

Another knife is 3V AK-47 field knife. That's non tapered full tang knife.

Usual weak points are places where knife narrows from blade into tang, as seen in knives that have hidden tang - like rat tail or stick tang knives, this especially applies if corners aren't rounded, then you have major stress risers.

It looks like the AK-47 is the only offering that fits the bill. Not quite the shape I was hoping for. It sure would be rad if they produced something like the SRK or Master Hunter with a full width tang.

It’s not about the strength. I want to use the knife as a blade blank and would prefer a full width tang so I can just make scales rather than a hidden tang handle.
