There&#39;s a question of durability, in my mind. Which are full tang? Which are not? Difficult to tell. Makes a difference. A handle, esp. plastic, will eventually break if the blade isn&#39;t full tang. Thank you. </h2> <div class="bvseo-question-detail"> </div> <div class="bvseo-author">Asked by: LTNT</div> <div class="bvseo-answer" data-answerid="3151465"> Machetes do not need to be full tang to be durable, that being said those that have wooden handles almost always are, some with older plastic handles are either slab or sandwich construction, which is usually full tang. The molded plastic ones are full length tang, not full width. The needs to be full tang thing is little more than a trend. Certainly it provides durability, but traditionally alot of knives, and cutting implements were specifically not. If you are to the point of breaking a machetes tang, you already have severe blade damage, and perhaps a bent blade, ie if you tried to baton with it. In any case, if that&#39;s your prime concern just get a tramontina with a wooden handle, beyond that though, I guarantee you that is not necessary for a machete to be durable. <div class="bvseo-author">Answered by: Jake</div> <div class="bvseo-pubdate">Date published: 2019-06-26</div> </div> </div> <div class="bvseo-question-answer" data-questionid="1883773"> <h2 class="bvseo-question"> are the machete knives pictured the ones you receive or just pot luck.
