I just picked up one in a trade and was wondering if it is full tang? I love this knife but never thought about buying one.Nice chubby grip,fills my hand.I had a Perrin(sheath rattled) and a Temperence(too big to carry IWB) and traded both away.The Moran sheath holds the knife nice and tight.It is a keeper.

It's one of my "buy" knives this year. Bill's design is genius.

Pretty sure it is not full tang. I really like the droppoint Moran.
Neither the FB01/FB02 Morans nor the FB04 Perrin or the FB05 Temperance have full tang. This doesn't mean the knives are "weak", the FRN handle is molded.
If you have a strong magnet, you can easily test how long the tang is ... IIRC about the half the lenght of the handle.

You would have to don the hockey mask to break that handle...
