how thick is the blade?

The blade is 4 3/4" long by 1/8" thick with a very useful (especially for survival) 15/16" wide blade profile. Ideal for any use you can think of.

I believe its about 1/4 of an in thick but tapers down thinner towards the point.

I said its 1/4 but prob more like 1/8 thick.I like to add its not bad but the grip material on the handle is horrible.I think its the same on all the signature line.I recently bought two from elite series and way better quality with olive wood handles but they are not really marketed as a survival knife and quite a bit more expensive.Its very true though of the old saying,you get what you pay for.

The blade is 1/8 in.(3mm)thick an 1 1/4 in.( approx. 33mm) wide at it's widest point. Hope this helps. It is a very well made knife in my opinion. Sorry I didn't return you an answer sooner.

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.

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.

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.

Its the usual thickness that you would come to expect of the average machette. Im not sure to the millimeter how thick, but it I've used it plenty, and the thickness of the blade has never been an issue. It's sturdy and solid. Sorry I cant be more specific, but I hope this helps.

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.

About the same width as the blade but only about 1/2 thick. It's a good sheath. I recommend.

It seems adequately thick, yet not overly heavy - you want a blade of this sort to be maneuverable and agile. This blade is not just some wall-hanger, it is constructed as to be used for the intended purpose.

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!

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.

I don't know the exact thickness but it was exactly the same as the Craftsman blade I replaced.

The blade is 7 inches long with an additional 2 1/2 inches buried in the handle.The metal held in the handle is 1 1/2 inches wide and a full 1/8 inch thick. It's difficult to measure or estimate the thickness of the blade itself as it's slightly concave and the metal is heavier toward the middle. Additionally the edges are beveled. It's a must have tool.... as strong as any I've encountered. Buy it!

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

About 3/4 inch. Nice and thick, not too heavy. Stays in place while cutting.

The blade is 1/4 thick steel at the back and tapers forward. And for the sake of being thorough, at it's widest point it is 1 & 1/2 inches wide and 6 & 1/2 inches long. It is PLENTY of blade for ANY task.

The blade is much thicker than a real knife. It probably won't fit in anything.

Well, I don't have anything small enough to measure, but if you are talking about the edge opposite the handle, then I would say pretty darned thin. Could cut you if enough pressure applied but not literally "razor" sharp. Sorry I'm not more help!
