pit man,
Thanks for steering me to that thread.
The tang on the Temperance is more of a half tang and is plenty stout enough for the knife's mission as layed out by Sal:
Look at all of the survival experts who have nothing but praise for the Mora and have no problem recommending them. And the tang on that Mora in the x-ray is a partial tang that is approaching stub-tang status. I have several of these myself, and they handle whatever nasty chore I throw at them, like cutting roots for example.
I think we, as knife afficionados, are getting to the point where we even expect our steak knives to fill the ol' "end-of-the-world-as-we-know-it" survival scenario. This is not a poke at you, because I am as guilty of this mentality as everyone else.
As a side note, I made a file knife Bowie with a 10" blade that I have done chopping and wood whacking with and it is a partial-tang mounted on a stag carver handle. It's still a great go-to knife for clearing out the ever present suckers and head level tree limbs on my property. It's all good bro!
