Fallkniven Thor: Full Tang? Pics?

[gamma_nyc]

hey knife experts,

Anyone know if the fallkniven Thor is a "full tang" knife? If so, how thick/wide is the tang?

Is it like the cold steel trailmaster or thicker like a busse?

No, it is not full tang, it uses a reduced size tang covered by leather washers.

If you can break a fallkniven with normal use the warranty will covert it.. so dont worry about that kind of thing

Better than that you can go to the fallkniven forums an ask for pictures there
its at knifeforums

how does the tang compare to a cold steel trailmaster?

 

[Varulv]

we cannot see the tang under the stacked leather handle so ask the maker! buddy

The Thor is way cooler than the Trailmaster. The thor is such a classic with the bowie blade and leather washer handle like a classic K-Bar with top notch materials.

Why are you interested in the tang? Seems to be a "hot" topic for some reason.

There have been some reported incidents of the Trailmaster breaking at the tang/blade junction, but I've yet to read such concerning any of the Fallknivens.

Just that it seems to be an important differentiating factor. Especially since it is a difficult feature to get detailed info on (hence this thread).
