For the knife you carry every day in your pocket, this question really doesn’t matter. But when you need a bushcraft knife, and your life depends on it, always get full tang.
Why? By definition, a bushcraft knife is a survival knife. It’s a tool you will use and abuse. Folding knives have moving parts which can break. When surviving in the wild, you need a knife that is made of high quality steel with sufficient thickness that you can beat on it with a stick to chop wood. A folding knife will break eventually.
Check out this Becker BK 2. That’s a bushcraft knife!!
