What sword is better a sword that is full tang and hand tempered but only made out of HQCS carbon steel or a sword that is 10 dollars more but made out of 1045 High Carbon Steel but non full tang?

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.
