The blade looks a bit thin, how does it feel?

Feels pretty solid, blade seems to hold an edge well and doesn't feel flimsy or cheap.. Some of the screws need retightening after some use due to the spring action.. Other than that great knife for the price

In my opinion its really what your doing with it I mainly use it for just the average ever tasks (small rope, tape, etc.) But I really like the blade its thin but very sturdy and it has a very nice feel in my hand I hope this helps if so let me know if u get it.

It probably is a hair thinner. I'm not sure of the exact measurement but it takes an good edge. I wouldn't baton it but it's a great slicer. I put more of a scandi grind on mine and batoning was a bad idea. It will cut meat, or make good shavings and it's great for all around use but if you want to baton a blade buy something heavier or get an axe.

The blade is pretty think. It feels very study. I dropped mine tip down on concrete from about 4ft and the tip slightly chipped. 5 minutes on the stone fixed it perfectly.

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

Although a good knife I really feel it's going to be a bit rugid and heavy for every day , go for a lighter knife, it weighs a bit in your pocket , it's a good knife but for what your looking for its a bit bulky

Sorry Chris, but I think the manufacturer would have to explain this one. I know it is fine since to the touch it does not feel gritty like the more coarse stones, or my steel, but it does the job to align the blade back. Can't go wrong for the price.

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.

I followed the counter cut, it blended very well. you can feel it but it is not noticeable unless you are on top of it. When I cut it I angled my blade, opposite of each other.

The blade is thick, this knife is real heavy duty, I was afraid it would be cheap or just chinssy, I was wrong! I wear as a neck knife but it is a little heavy, I am a larger man and it is ok, weight wise. I definitely recommend it.

It's pretty thick. The blade is 3/16 inch thick. Feels really solid in the hand. good knife for the price.

It's thin and small. It's Sturdy but it is also kind of sharp on the handle. I'd skip it.

It appears genuine to my untrained eye. Benchmade packaging, warranty documents, etc. I can tell you - this blade is sharp. I handled it without 100% attention for a moment and my right thumb is less some skin.

The blades are very thin and light, much thinner and lighter than my traditional chef knife. I use mine on a maple butcher block and only have to hone them about once every 3 months. Not all high carbon steel is created equally. Would I choose these over a Wusthof Chef Knife at the same price? Probably but it is a personal preference based on look and feel. Both are quality knives and would preform well.

It feels substantial but not overly heavy. The lip is wide enough for a small knife--since it curves slightly upward it is not as stable with a full sized table knife resting on it. I am happy with my purchase so I hope you'll like it too!

im away from actually looking at it so i cant be specific. probably not that thick but getting there. if your doing a lot of slicing as it sounds like you are you probably should buy it, you will be happy with it.

The blade shape makes it pretty good for chopping and slicing. I also like the flat blade for batoning. It batons just fine in my opinion, however, it would be better if the blade was a little thicker.Overall, it will get the job done, and the coating they put on should keep it fairly weather proof.

the steel is strong enough and it has some heft however it needs to be sharpened which if you do will degrade the overall stregth and quality of the blade there is no blood grove and the blade itself doesnt feel quite balanced for true sword fighting i have mine for cosplay only but its cheap enough so hack away my friend hack away
