What is the thickness of the blade like? Is the point of the blade fragile?

It's a sturdy blade, I think the only way you could break it is if you really tried to

The blade is very thick not super sharp. I'm not sure if it's fragile, we haven't used it yet.

I highly recommend this knife especially for the price. I carry it everywhere as I live in Mississippi and carry laws are very lenient. I also own the mx805 in the front pocket because it's like having its little brother.

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.

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.

The MTECH USA Xtreme MX 8054 is my personal favorite knife in my whole collection.The blade is very thick and bulky at about 3/16" thick in all its glorious rigidness.It came very sharp.I did the old armhair test and it passed.It holds its edge and point really well.As well as any cold steel knife does that I own.I've torture tested on chopping on some pine 2by4s,old oak wood tables and put it through a lot of sheetrock,blade and handle first.It needed a little tlc.Just the same as any of the other more expensive knives I own.

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

It's thin, not razor sharp but thinner than a butter knife. I feel that I have to be careful when I drink from it.

The blade is not too thick, but I don't have a way to measure it. The knife is fairly big as it is so the thickness is not noticable.

Pretty thin. I don't have it with me. Mine did break after I dropped it on my tile floor. Just the very tip popped off. They are pricey, mine was $130 after I waited like 6months. QC from spyerco could be a lot better at that price point too.

The blade is very close to 3/16" , I think close to 5mm if you prefer metric, so pretty thick. It is made of stainless steel too just in case you were wondering.

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

I've been using mine for 2 years now without any real issues. That being said it is a thinner tip for precise cutting tasks. I wouldn't do heavy prying with this knife because there are far better tools for that. Quality is top notch and its been one of my favorite knives to date.

It's a pretty light knife. I'd say look into another brand/model for a heavier knife. Higher price-point too, I suspect.

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.

It's a fairly small knife, so blade is relatively sturdy, just because it's short. It is a knife, though, so you wouldn't want to pry with it.

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.

Not sure Patrick - I wouldn't want you to buy it and find out it fails! I think thicker plastic might make the blade go dull rather quickly? I could be wrong, but I'd err on the side of 'no'.

The blade is very solid and true carbon steel. However it's not full tang. It's pretty sturdy but I wouldn't wreck the piece. If it was full tang it'd be perfect. I'd still recommend this piece over others I did research for a few months before purchasing.

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.

Yes, the tip is pretty thin and therefore is more likely to break than most Benchmades. I have not had an issue with it and it is actually very handy for many things, especially cutting open those plastic clam shell packaging. The fine, sharp tip easily penetrates. This is my main EDC knife, but I always carry at least tow knifes. Usually, it is a Spyderco Endura 4 which takes all the abuse, to save the Para. Hope this helps.

I don't have a caliper or other tool that could really measure that accurately for you. I can tell you that the blade is "pretty thick." Especially at the back or top of the knife and then thins somewhat as it moves toward the cutting edge. The knife isn't flexible. It is something that I think would work pretty effectively in survival situation for cutting or prying stout objects. Sorry I can't give you a more specific answer.
