Yes that is a full tang M122 Nemo! I finally saw one, thanks for those great pics.
BG, I am not going to get into an argument here with you about what constitutes a "full tang" knife, but just maybe you should do some "googling" on this subject. According to wikipedia ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tang_(weaponry) , "A full tang extends the full length of the grip-portion of a handle, versus a partial tang which does not." Now, let's see you give some references to support your opinion!! I'm done; you can continue jousting windmills all you wish!!!!!
Gee, ya think.I think BG just likes to put his own "spin" on things.
So just for fun what would you call a 124 that had modified handles that covered the tang?Well, it has been suggested that we Google to find the truth, so I did.
In Googling, I find that there are approximately a zillion debates going as to whether or not a hidden-tang knife is as strong as a full-tang knife.
Now why would all these people be debating it if hidden-tang and full-tang were the same thing?
One and all can take a look if they wish.

Bottom line is:
If they were both full-tang we'd call them both full-tang.
They are not, so we don't.
Full-tang and hidden-tang are two different systems that are physically and demonstrably quite different.
Oh cont rare,the fun has just began for once again you're wrong.The 124 is a full-tang knife......modifying the handles wouldn't change that fact.
By the same token, if you cut the handle of the early Nemo and exposed the short, skinny little stick tang of that early Nemo......it wouldn't suddenly become a full-tang knife--it would still be a hidden tang, just modified.
There, was that fun?
It was fun for me.

You should educate Bill Keyes,just so he'll know.Keep on dreamin' if it makes you feel better.
