Hey,

I was thinking about picking up the Seal Pup Elite but I can't get any info on the width of the tang just the thickness and that's its "full". Does anybody happen to know?

I recently bought the fixation bowie and found that the "full tang" is much closer to a Ka-Bar thin style tang which creates a weak point. (but still a great knife for 34 bucks retail) I'm looking for a thick tang that travels the length of the handle.

Can anybody help? Thanks.
 
I don't know if the Seal pup elite is (full tang) but it is tough enough for me.

BTW...The Swamp Rat Ratmandu is a very nice reasonably priced full tang knife :D

just bought a Seal Pup Elite Straight Ti edge - could not determine tang length. I'd email SOG and see what they say. I emailed Cold Steel about a Recon Tanto Sai Mai in black finish and they replied almost immediately which blew me away. So many internet-based businesses never bother to reply. BTW, satin finish only....Dura Coat maybe...
 
The tang on the SEAL Pup and SEAL Pup Elite runs the entire length of the handle. If you look closely in the lanyard hole you can likely see part of the tang there. I think it is about 1/2" to 3/4" in width in the middle of the handle. If you need more answers let me know.
