As far as I know, it is one solid piece! You could check CC to be sure. They have info there on all the products.
 
Yes! It is one piece of forged German steel! Tell him or her that it is VERY balanced in your hand. Professional Chef's helped PC to choose the design/make of the knives...which is why many chefs LOVE them!
 
Full tang. Means that it is one piece from the point to the end.
 
It Is The Knife Ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
I own this knife and the color coated and I love them!! My DH always looks for reason to use them! They are fantastic and I recommend them at all my shows!
 
My brother is graduating Le Couerd un Bleu (I'm sure I didn't spell that right!) culinary art school this coming weekend. He has TONS of professional high-end knives. He KNOWS knives. He's been cooking in restaurants for over 15 years. He LOVES my PC Santuko!!! He couldn't believe how balanced it was in his hand when I did a PC show for my SIL! Needless to say, he's getting one with his graduation present this next week!
