Do I need a full-tang knife for bushcraft?

Reviewer consensus

For heavy batoning and prying, full-tang construction (such as the Condor Bushlore) is more reassuring under load. That said, the partial-tang Morakniv knives have an enormous base of buyers reporting hard use without failure, so for most carving and camp tasks a quality partial tang is widely considered adequate.
