I believe 3/16, it is comparable to a CS Master Hunter. It is a good strong blade thickness.

It looked to be 3/16 thick. It's not as thick as my Becker bk2 but very sturdy . I've beat that knife up.

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.

My blade is 3/16" thick x 5 1/4" long. I've taken it on 2 different camping trips, and abused it badly, making baton cuts across 4-6" seasoned hard maple, did quite a bit of splitting, carving, and lots of other things as well.You have one hellofa good survival knife here, I'd trust my life on it

It's about an 1/8 inch thick, works pretty good, nice & compact, you'll need to sharpen the blade, I used a standard flat file

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

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

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.

Measured on my knife: From the front of the handle to the tip of the blade is 3 3/8 inches. Actual cutting edge is 3 inches. This is a fairly heavy blade, about 1/8 inch thick at the base. The weight makes it very easy to open one handed, by a slight push out with the thumb, then a quick flick of the wrist.

A little less than 3 lb. I brought it on a recent hike on the AT and used it several times and was worth the carry. My buddy has a similar Gerber that he brought...few whacks on a standing dead tree about 6" thick, and we switched to mine. The thick blade makes it significantly better; the defining feature in my opinion. Also, try a 550 cord loop on the handle and hold it so only a couple fingers are on the handle and it will chop like a hatchet.

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.

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.

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

It is not a quarter inch thick. You are thinking of the esee 5 by Rowen. Jeff randall knife

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!
