External Links[edit]
Why are there two links to commercial sites? Seems like they're doing some advertising.. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 96.39.147.221 (talk) 23:27, 6 May 2013 (UTC)

Article title[edit]
The title of this article should be changed, probably to Tang_(tools) Knives have a much longer history and wider use as tools than as weapons, and aside from that, a lot of non-knife carpentry and stone working tools also have a tang.
Tang insertion[edit]
I was trying to find out the proper method of inserting the tang into the handle. I was always taught to insert and firmly bang on the table. Someone else used a mallet. Bill Vila says either, I was looking for some confirmation. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mickeyrhpeters (talk • contribs) 15:30, 4 December 2014 (UTC)
spears and arrows[edit]
I just wanted to add that both spear heads and arrow heads also sometimes use a tang as a way to attach the head to the shaft and this should be included in the article. However I also agree that many tools also use some sort of tang mechanism for the attachement of the head to the handle/shaft. Master z0b (talk) 02:14, 20 December 2010 (UTC)
