Full tang means the metal of the blade continues full length through the handle, making for a stronger bond between blade and handle.
Yes, full tang steak knives are better than other steak knives for cutting. I have a set of my own and use them often.
Just about every cutlery company makes knives made with a full tang as opposed to stamped blade models, but of course they cost more.
Swedish Mora knives typically feature a partial tang design rather than a full tang. This means that the blade extends only partway into the handle, which can make the knives lighter and more affordable. However, some higher-end models may offer a full tang for improved strength and balance. It's always best to check the specific model for details on its construction.

That salsa has a nice tang to it. I bought a set of chisels that were supposed to have a full tang.

Steak knives are knives that are used for cutting large pieces of meat. Generally, steak knives are serrated, meaning that they have small rows of teeth that help to tear the meat as the knife is dragged across it. When buying steak knives, people are confronted with the option of purchasing forged or stamped steak knives. Knowing the difference can help you to choose the knife that is right for you. Forged and stamped are two terms that refer to how a knife is manufactured. Forged knives are knives that are created by taking a small piece of metal and pounding it under tremendous heat and pressure till it flattens into the shape of a blade. The knife edge is then honed, giving it its sharp edge. Stamped knives, on the other hand are created by rolling out thin strips of metal and then cutting them with a cookie cutter like mold. Stamped knives are less expensive than forged knives. When buying steak knives or any other kind of knife for that matter, you should always opt for forged knives if possible. Even though these knives cost more than stamped knives, the quality of the knives is far superior. For one, the weight of a forged knife is much greater than that of a stamped blade, which will allow a person to cut through a piece of meat with less effort. Also, forged knives generally have a full tang. A tang is the metal end of the blade that is riveted into the handle. Having a full tang helps to increase the balance and control of the knife. Forged knives also look more aesthetically pleasing than stamped knives. Although most people would be hard pressed to tell if one knife is superior to another upon individual inspection, when placed side by side, it is easy to tell which knife is forged and which knife is stamped. Stamped knives look cheap in comparison to forged knives, which are reflected in their prices. When buying knives, the general rule of thumb is to buy the most expensive knife that fits into your budget. In the world of knives, the performance and longevity of the blade is directly proportional to the price of the knife, making buying quality knives a necessity.
A ban on knives would be horrible in a kitchen.
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.
Firstly when buying a chef knife set, you should look at the types of variations they come in such as utility knives, butter knives, steak knives, etc. You should also look at the stell compilation of the blades. This is will give you a sense of guarantee of how long the knives will last.
The price of a set of Forschner knives depends on which knives are included in the set, as well as how many. A set of 6 steak knives can be purchased for around $25.00. A full knife set in a block can run up to $225.00.
My understanding of tang is that a full tang sword is much stronger and durable. This is because the metal extends through the handle. so even if your steel es stronger, it wouldn't matter if the handle breaks! Improvement: A full-tang would be a much better alternative, simply because the balancing and sturdiness of the hilt:blade ratio. Something made with half-tang or a rat-tail would snap in the heat of combat, reenactment or practice, possibly causing injury to the user and anybody or property around.
