Is this a full-tang blade?

Yes. It's a full-length 1055 carbon steel blade with grips attached to both sides. Practically indestructible and withstood torture tests much better and longer than other knives costing 4 and 5 times as much.

does the sheath have a clip on the back, or are the only anchor points the eyelets?

The sheath on the GI Tanto is awesome, there is a large belt loop on the back, you can thread a wide cartridge belt easily through it or there is a snap and velcro fastener on the back that you can unsnap and pull apart the velcro, pass the loop over a belt or strap (without removing the belt) and resnap / velcro together the belt loop. The closure is very secure and a bit hard to open / remove, I like it. This has become my favorite utility knife, I carry it all the time when I hike, fish, hunt and camp. It is one tough knife, I've abused the heck out of it, it takes a very sharp edge and is easily resharpened in the field with a small file I carry. My brother, nephew and 3 of my friends now own them after seeing how mine performs!

Does this tanto say, "China" on the blade? I found one at a Pawn store that has that stamped, but on here it says the origin is Taiwan.

Blade says CHINA . Cannot find one from the REPUBLIC OF TAIWAN.
