## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is this a full-tang knife or rat-tail?**
A: Full tang, sorta, as commenter Kurt Doney explains. And built like the Marine issue Ka-Bar, as commenter GlenFromCleveland breaks down. Hence, the knife is awesome.

**Q: is this made by kabar....made in the usa?**
A: Yes it is made by Kabar in the USA.

**Q: IS the sheath for this knife compatible with MOLLE attachment?**
A: With some altering (i.e. paracord or straps) this could be retrofitted to work with MOLLE. As is without such adjustments, best uses are on either the hip or thigh (just my honest opinion). There are however other sheaths, possibly better made, that will fit this knife and attach to MOLLE gear.

**Q: is it a full tang?**
A: yes of course a full tang and very sharp and feels great .
