full tang to partial tang

[insane_yeti131313]

I was checking out the other khukuri websites and found a khuk that i really liked...the only problem is that it's partial tang which i guess it might be more prone to breakage than a full tang khukuri. check it out and tell me what you think http://www.toratoratora.co.uk/kukri/details.asp?id=67

but the hidden tang khuks from HI are plenty tough. I've been using an 18" WWII model for three or four years and have had zero trouble from the hidden tang. I guess the full tang would be a bit stronger but on a 1/2" thick, two pound blade the partial tang is still really strong.

Not to mention having a really large full-tang would push the balance back towards the hand. I like both, and they all have their uses.
