The A1 shown in the radiograph is currently off having a natural canvas Micarta handle put on it. I will post pics when it comes back.

fallkniven sells blade blanks for people who want to handle their own knives. If you click on this link you will see an A1 blank
You will see that it is slightly fuller than the picture that noss4 posted.

To me those are both "full" tangs, but I think the blade blank that is pictured on ebay would be a better choice to put slab handles on for purely aesthetic reasons
Sorry guys I'm terrible at posting pictures and links.

If you currently have or can find a cheaper Fallkniven knife with the rubber enclosed handle and want Micarta, G3, or fancy wood instead. A major knife retailer on the internet and Bark River are joining forces to provide kits that will fit the current rubber handled Fallknivens.
This retailer currently is selling rehandled Fallknivens done by Bark River. Bark River is now working on the CAD/CAM programs to mass produce the panels needed for this project. When they are done the Fallkniven owner with only basic shop skills will be able to change their knife over to a custom grip.
For the rubber enclosed models you would only have to enclose the tang with a mortised grip like the Bark River Nebula to maintain the original grip size.

nice knife! I think I want to stick with something production for now though, I'd feel bad abusing something that's custom made
You'll change your tune once you start buying customs! :thumbup:
