How thick is the blade?

around 3/8 the blade holds up well for the cost. the old light waight is much better and worth the money. look for one on eday.

The blade is the same thickness as the rest of the machete line. 1055 painted/coated high carbon steel. It's thin -but strong, lightweight and will bend at an extreme angle before it breaks. I have never broken any of my Cold steel machetes- I have most of them. I bent the tip of the gladius machete and just bent it back. This machete is made in South Africa. Soft steel but it sharpens up again very nicely! I like all of mine!!

about as thick as this line. _ a quarter inch. It is a standard thickness. Send me your address and I will give you my RKM for the postage fee. I wish to get rid of it.

Just measuring a 7-1/4" Blade at max Depth it looks like 2-7/16". I haven't tried to cut anything thicker than that and then measure the cut to know more accurately.

Max thickness is about an inch and a half. I purchased mine to cut pinewood derby cars for our scout troop if that helps.

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

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.

About 7.5 inches overall. Blade is 3.5. Nice grip on handle. Nice thick blade.

I have never measured blade thickness but it is close to 1/32". Flexing of the blade shouldn't be a problem since it is designed to cut on the pull stroke. I have enjoyed using mine. It leaves a much smoother cut edge than traditional push stroke saws (even the Gentleman's Dovetail saw). Hope this helps.

Not very thick...maybe about 1/8" or so. It is usable on both sides as well as both edges for a total of 4 usable cutting surfaces as the blades don't run down the center of the mat.

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 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.

From my measurement, the blade is 5mm thick, a nice hefty piece of metal. Minimal edge when shipped, but nothing a grinder and stone can't take care of!

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:)

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

about 1 inch thick. it's sturdy enough to use for cutting but it will scratch
