How thick is the blade? It it durable enough to crack open young thai coconut?

Blade is really thin and knife isn't that big either. I don't know what a Thai coconut is but I couldn't imagine it cracking open a hard shell coconut . But consider buying since there inexpensive, good quality, and made in USA. Buying American made matters!

It is about 1/16th of an inch. I have not cracked open a coconut with it, but it would appear you need something thicker, heavier, and more substantial to do that.

I really don't know if you could split a coconut with it. It is basically a dicer.

It seems relatively durable and sharp, i've hacked into plywood with it with no problems but it isn't sharp enough to cut your finger if you run it along the blade. It is NOT full tang, if you unwrap the handle you can see where the handle and blade are welded together. The sheath is garbage but with some super glue it will last.

Just a teeny fraction over 2mm thick. The taper of the blade is a vegetable slicing type cleaver/Chinese Chef's knife. The taper is carried all the way to the spine of the blade unlike a western meat cleaver.

It looked to be 3/16 thick. It's not as thick as my Becker bk2 but very sturdy . I've beat that knife up.

Blade is 1/8 inch thick, so it is nice and firm. Nice weight too. Very pleased with mine!!!

Its 12" total and 7.5" blade. I don't know the thickness, but it is a sturdy blade. I have used it to clear wild yucca when hiking.

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.

From the information that I could find the blade is 2 mm thick. I hope this helps. Thank you American Survival Gear

The blade steel is 1/4 thick I highly recomend this as a hard use survival blade!

It's pretty sturdy and would cut through veggies. I save mine for sushi to keep the blade nice and sharp. The price is good enough to buy several and use them at will.

The blade is 1 1/2" wide at the widest part of the cutting area, somewhat concave and, in my estimation, is sturdy enough to outlast me, my son, and his kids. I don't know how to figure thickness without a measuring tool but tend to expect my tools to stand up to hard use. Hint: I misplace tools in the garden way too often so have begun wrapping a strip of that bright pink Duck tape on handles - it helps.

A better question would be "how thin is the blade?" LOL...thinner than your average machette blade (2.0 to 2.5 mm). Ironically, it's quite resiliant, though. I've beaten mine to tamp dirt, hacked at logs, and even dug in the ground and it's definitely not going to bend.

its a good blade , the handle is a little thick for my hands and the blade came... "machete" sharp ,but those are problems fixed with sand paper and a work sharp . the finish is nicely baked on and durable and the handle is molded directly to the blade so there is no movement , overall a good blade and for the price its a good buy

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.

It is a "made in China" short machete. The blade has 14" length. I could say that could be used to cut coconuts.I use it to trim small trees

The entire blade is from one piece of damascus steel from tip into the bottom of the handle. I'd say the blade is approximately half a centimeter thick. The whole knife is very hefty! I am very pleased with it!

it is and its half tang meaning the blade slims down to a narrow rod that tightens at the end. after 30 minutes of hacking random trees during a campout it broke. you get what you paid for though.
