That tang is the part of the knife that goes into the handle. Full tang means that the metal goes the full length of the handle which helps both the strength and the balance. There is no screw or rivet attachment of the blade to the handle because the blade metal runs straight through to the end of the handle. This makes the survival knife much stronger. In fact, some survival knife models have the metal extend beyond the end of the handle so that the end of the handle can be used as a hammer. This hammer, often referred to as a pommel, can be used to pound tent stakes into the ground, to hammer loosened nails, for breaking glass to exit from a motor vehicle crash, or for good old fashioned self defense.
The tang is the part of a knife that serves as the handle to blade junction. It either goes in the handle or attaches to it dependant on what type of tang it is. The strongest type is the full tang while the weakest would be the rat or half tang.

The metal piece that fastens the handle to the tang is called a rivet. Rivets are permanent mechanical fasteners that hold the handle securely in place on the blade of a knife or tool.
Yes, full tang steak knives are better than other steak knives for cutting. I have a set of my own and use them often.

Throughout the long history of W. R. Case & Sons, there have been many different stamps used on its knives. These stamps are located on the tang of the master blade, and can be used to identify when the knife was manufactured
A balisong is a folding pocket knife with two handles counter-rotating around the tang such that when closed, the blade is concealed within the grooves in the handles.
Tang Tang happened in 2001.
Knives are a commonly used tool that we often take for granted. We expect them to perform and cut with ease, but we rarely pay any more attention to our knives than that. To understand your knife, it is important to learn about its construction and be able to identify the various knife parts.First, it is easy to divide the knife into two main parts, the handle and the blade. But each of those two parts can also be subdivided into its own parts. With the help of the photo at right and the descriptions below, you will better understand what components make up your knife.Point - The point is the part of the knife where the edge and spine come together. The point is often used for piercing.Tip - The tip is the forward part of the knife and includes the knife point. The tip is used detailed or delicate cutting.Edge - The edge is the cutting part of the blade. It extends from the point to the heel of the knife.Heel - The heel is the rear part of the edge, opposite the point.Spine - The spine is the top of the knife blade, opposite the knife edge.Bolster - The bolster is the band that joins the blade of the knife to its handle. The bolster provides balance for the knife and also helps to protect the hand from getting in the way of the knife edge.Tang - The tang is the part of the blade that extends into the handle of the knife. It is the surface to which the handle attaches to the blade.Scales - The scales are the part of the knife that creates the handle. Scales are often made of synthetic material or wood. Two scales are typically attached to the tang with rivets.Rivets - The rivets are metal pins used to join the scales to the tang to form the handle.Butt - The butt is the end of the handle of the knife.
