how thick of a hunting knife will it sharpen

Unsure but know that it will sharpen a blade 1/8 inch thick. And it does a VERY good job! I like this product.

I don't have a caliper for an exact measurement, but for sake of trial, I just tried a few of my beefier knives. It's not happening. I only use mine for kitchen knives. good product for thin blades though.

I have sharpened the Old Timer folding hunting knife without any problems. I used to have a Buck non-folding with a 7 to 8 inch blade, I think it would sharpen that okay. I have several folding hunting knives with 4 to 5 inch blades, it works well with them. The guides spread apart as needed for the thicker knives.Hope this helps

I haven't found a knife that it doesn't sharpen. I actually have had knifes made for me that I sharpen on mine.Besides that you have 30 days to return it if it doesn't work the way you want it! STEW

The sharpener is designed for "kitchen" blades. That being said, it did a great job on one of my old army k-bars which is about the same as some thicker hunting/skinning blades. The guides are on springs, so there's more tension on thicker blades and they're harder to pull through at a steady pace to get a nice, even edge. I'd recommend testing it on some cheap knives before moving onto your good ones. I started with some old kitchen knives, then moved on to thicker camping/hunting knives. You want to get a feel for how it feels pulling different blades through the sharpener. Once you do, it should do a great job for you. The sharpener is designed for "kitchen" blades.

I don't have my mic. or the knife with me but the blade is right at 1/8 inch. The "lite Hunter" is a very good blade shape for general use (and for a hunting knife) but the handle is slippery when wet. You may want to look at the "Canadian belt knife" which has a very nice blade for hunting and a little better handle. I have used both under hunting conditions and I like the "Canadian" knife a little better.If you chose the "Lite hunter" you may want to consider putting skateboard tape in a few spots on the handle to make it more secure in your hand. Both knives are great for working on game and as a boning knife - thin but not flimsy. Both are great knives. Hope this helps - you can't go wrong with either.

It is very difficult to sharpen a serrated knife, but because it is called a "cake/bread" knife, and is only meant to cut softer items, it should rarely need to be sharpened. This knife would not do a great job of cutting brisket or other meat. For that you want a carving knife, and you can find a bunch by searching "granton carving knife" on Amazon. Those knives will be much better for the job.

8" diameter 3/4" thick. Too much work? It takes about two passes on each side of the blade on each wheel to put a razor sharp edge on a knife. Takes about 30 seconds! I run a full time taxidermy shop, there are NO OTHER sharpeners in the shop since I bought my wheels about 8 years ago.

About an inch thick but is tapered near the blade so generally not a major issue

The blade is 3/16 of an inch. I have used it on a large turkey and it worked well but have found myself using the smaller boning knife it too is 3/16" thick but with less drag do to being high the distance from edge to back.

I have not used this sharpener for hunting knives but it does a pretty good job on kitchen knives. It's very good for 'refreshing' a knife that isn't as sharp as it used to be but eventually you need to have the knife sharpened professionally. If you use the knife daily, you would probably need it sharpened professionally about once a year.

Thickness of blade spine is .110", a little under 1/8"t. Length of blade's cutting edge is 1.951", a little under 2". Good little knife for cutting cordand such, could probably clean a small fish in a pinch. If by slicing your referring to food preparation, blade length might be little short.That being said, I like this knife. It's stout and handy.

I believe it's about 3/4" thick. It has a good weight. I bought two. Not a bad blade, and opens great. I didn't pay attention to the screws, on the first knife, and it fell apart. The faux wood handle fell off too. Still, if you perform regular checks, and tighten the screw as needed, the knife should last. Again, the blade nice.

Get a Browning hunting knife for better performance. I leave this one in my car as a backup.

It's' a pretty fat knife. About 5" long & 2" wide so normal hunting cases won't fit. You're going to need something tactical.

I am sorry; I just keep the knife in my car for emergencies, and have not tried to sharpen it yet. I cannot answer your question.

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.

Approx 3/8" thick! Outstanding knife! I want more and recommend this knife to anyone interested in a Solid Metal Knife and as the handel is hollow metal it is perfect to store things in and could be used as a spear for hunting (survivor-man style:)

It's pretty thick. I've never measured it but it's substantial. The blade edge isn't all that though. If you're not doing tough tasks it will be fine and mine came razor sharp. I messed up the edge pretty bad butchering deer. I would have expected better.

Mine is 5.51mm at it's thickest point. great looking knife and very sharp out of the box, the only problem I had with it was that the sheath it comes with it is crap, nothing like the one in the picture, I got a partial refund from amazon because of the sheath, had a friend make me a custom sheath for it. but the knife itself is one of my favorites.
