What is the blade thickness? I was considering the KA-BAR Becker 22 with the 1/4" blade but ran across this.

I don't have a ruler but I have owned hundreds of knives and this is the thickest one I have owned of this size. This is a awesome knife and you won't be disappointed.

The ESEE 5 is same thickness...I did tons of research on YouTube (and other places) and ended up with this one...it is a beast and I got mine really, really sharp.

.25" inch thick on the spine with a sabre grind to the edge. So it has a similar overall profile. Its also a 5.25inch long blade. REMEMBER when choosing between esee vs any other blade. ESEE has an amazing no questions asked warranty. I personally have batonned through multiple 8 to 10inch thick hardwood logs and the only thing hurt was the coating. The heat treat on mine is impressive. Keep in mind this is also a heavy duty utility/survival knife NOT a specialized camp craft knife. For that I would recommend the laser strike or esee 4. I keep mine on and around my truck.

The Randall RAT 4 is an excellent choice. Similar in price, I think a little less. Currently there is an Ontario version, which is decent, but Randall is the original designer. I also really like the KaBar Becker line. The BK 16 is very close in comparison and cheaper. The Beckers are easier to sharpen, however they have to be cared for to prevent corrosion. And your absolute cheapest, is gonna be a Mora. They can be had for $20ish. Or more depending on quality and sheath options. They are a good cheap blade. But very susceptible to rust. If you have more questions I am happy to answer as best as I can. These arent armchair opinions either. I own or have friends who own, and we use them in the woods.

Just got this at work so I don't have the Boker with me, but it's thick!!! Maybe an 1/8 . Surprised me when I got it. The thickness of the blade is, visually, the same full length. I'd have to actually measure it to find out. It is srong and heavy. I carry it whenever I'm out in the desert or up in the forest area and it's been a pry bar, digging tool, knife, hachet etc. It holds an edge fairly well even with rough use. Never used the webbing cutter fixture, but I guess it would work well too.

never actually measured the thickness of the blade but it is about 1/4 inch thick and heavy.Hope that helps.

Not sure what the actual measurement is for the thickness but I can say that you have to WORK to get it to even flex. VERY solid blade and totally able to use reverse side saw on at least a 1" thick branch and no issues!!! =0)

Blade length is 5.25" and total length is 9.25." Blade width is just under an inch. My opinion: Not too big or small; solid knife! If in doubt or have big hands consider Ka-Bar MK1 for about same price with blade length of 5.25" and total length of 9.25" but with larger grip and blade width of 1,1/8th inch. Both weigh the same in sheath. Slightly different blade and handle design so consider use or preference. Both are solid camping, hiking, survival tools. Hope this helped.

Actually some kind of goof here, as the 749 was not the one I ordered. However, Mora's website gives the thickness of that blade as 2.5 mm, which is .098.

Depending on the Bolster on the knife at the hand-guard, it could be as much as a 1/4 inch but i am able to get most of the blade on almost any knife. Be careful though because two of the wheels, course and medium, are very aggressive.

the blade length is 7.5 in the over all is 13.75 in the thickness is .25 in. I have a few knifes this one is beefier then my keybar I would have no second thouts about using it in a way you should never use a knife. ex cutting down a 3-4 in tree. stabbing a hole in light metal. on that not like all tools it is made with a use in mind. I know first hand that the blade is extremely sharp 5 stitches and 18 day in when i should have used a smaller knife. in note for combat/ servile A++++ but as a EDC or conceal carry D if that. Hope I helped good luck

The measurement 4" is only the bottom ( Straight edge) of the blade. Hope this helps!

Not sure of the exact thickness of the blade but if you're worried abut the blade being flimsy don't be, this is the real deal. The tip or point is not fragile, in fact there is nothing fragile about this knife whatsoever, go ahead and buy with peace of mind.

Idont have a micrometer but I think the standard kbar is about an 1/8 of and inch thick. The kukri and other utility blades are a little thinner but not much.

The blade thickness is 0.19". The knife is very sturdy and thick enough to use in most situations in outside survival. My son has been very satisfied with the performance of the knife.

The blade is 1/8 in.(3mm)thick an 1 1/4 in.( approx. 33mm) wide at it's widest point. Hope this helps. It is a very well made knife in my opinion. Sorry I didn't return you an answer sooner.

It says .010 on the package. The micrometer says the blade thickness is .012 and the kerf thickness is .0165. Hope this helps.

I am sorry for my late response. I have an Oster with a fixed blade, so that is all I can answer questions about with confidence. Sorry!

I didn't check it personally, but the factory dimensions claim a .25" (1/4) blade thickness. That seems about right.
