Do I need a full-tang knife for bushcraft?

It's a real debate. Specialist subreddits including r/Bushcraft and r/Morakniv repeatedly point out that Morakniv's partial-tang knives have held up to decades of hard use, with one r/Bushcraft commenter noting they've seen more full tangs break than partial-tang Moras. Full tang adds strength for heavy batoning and prying, but for carving, feathersticks, and general camp work, a quality partial-tang Scandi-grind knife is widely considered sufficient.
