How thick is the blade? 1/8, 3/16 ....? Also the description says 5160 for type of steel but on Bucks website it doesn't mention type of steel?

My Thug is 3/16" thick.0.190 inches using digital calipers. (if you prefer decimals)

I have this knife. The Blade is 1/8" thick on the spine. It is made of 5160 Carbon Steel.

The blade width is 3/16", and it is made of Carbon Steel, which can rust and needs to be kept oiled

The blade is made with 8Cr13MoV steel which seems to hold an edge just fine. However, I am one of those guys who wants a "scalpel like edge" on my blade and I hone it once a week - so it has never gone without attention.

I'm sorry it took me so long, this message had been sent to my spam folder. This knife is SMALLER at 5 1/4". Hope this helps :-)

I'm traveling and don't have the knife with me, so I can't be certain, but I believe it's 3 5/8". It's a substantial blade - you can do some work around the ranch with it. It also has a fairly deep belly and would make a decent skinner.

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.

I am not sure what you mean. The only difference I see is it's listed here as .1875 and on Cold Steel site as 3/16 inch. It is actually the same; 3/16in = .1875 in. I don't know why here it is in decimal.

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.

I'm fairly positive this is a Hanwei forge sword, spec say it's .18 inches thick at the spine. I do not have mine to measure offhand, as it lives in my car with my other gear so I don't forget to bring it to practice.

The blade is pretty thick, I measured it to be about a eighth of an inch which is larger than all my other knifes. It is very sturdy, razor sharp, and hasn't let me down yet.

The blade is 3/16" thick. I don't know how to measure the tang, as it is not a conventional tang. LOL! One solid piece of 1085 carbon steel, don't think you have to worry about breaking it under normal use. Very nice knife.

The thickness is maintained over the entire blade length. It is 1/4 inch thick

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.

The specs I've seen say it's a 3 1/8" blade, and using a tape from the handle edge to the tip of the blade, it's not quite 1/16" longer (depending how I hold the tape).

On the bottom of the slicer between the blade and the handle there is a square block 3-1/8"long (8cm) that sits on the same angle as the blade. You rotate it by 1/4 turns it has the numbers 0.5, 1.3, 2.0 and 3.0 which are the thicknesses. I don't know how accurate hey are I just pick the one I want.Martin

This is from the ka-bar website. the Blade Thickness is 0.165 so it is less than 3/16" thick.

Nope, it's a fixed blade, solid 5160 steel. It weighs a ton. I love mine though, and the sheath is workable.

I measured the one I got with a metric caliper and the blade measured at 2.1 mm, or .083 inches. That is between 5/64 (.078) and 3/32 (.094). The person who answered 3/16 of inch was either wrong or got one that is more than twice as thick as standard.
