Hello- Was curious if this blade is full tang. Additionally, if anyone has any info or personal experience in using this knife in the field for long durations, say a month or so, has it held up well? I'm not familiar with the brand, but it looks pretty and seems to be solid construction. Please help here if you can.
Thanks so much!

Yes, this knife is full tang, and holds up beautifully. I have brought it on several excursions into the BWCAW in northern Minnesota, and it is none the worse for the wear. The balance is good and it is wicked sharp. Due to the thickness of the blade, however, it is not a good substitute for your filet knife. It's my go-to for heavier applications though. I picked this up while backpacking in Europe (for way more than it costs here) and it was worth every euro-cent. Enjoy.
