how much of the blade is fine?

It's a nice knife but in all honesty, stay away from gerber. Buy a cold steel blade

This is a good quality light-duty blade from Diablo. It's a great blade for the money. The number of teeth will give you a good clean-cut. Depending on how many 2x4's. You cut. This is not a heavy duty blade.

If I remember correctly, it's in the 56-58 range. On the more practical side, I can say definitively this is tough steel with just enough flex to take some serious abuse. The edge sharpens easily but holds up well to carving, hacking, and batoning...though I would recommend using a machete or axe for such rough chores. A gentleman running a site (I believe) named Knife Tests did a destruction test on this series of Schrade and it outlasted the $300-400 Chris Reeve custom made knife the Schrades were patterned after. It finally broke when a 3-lb maul was uses to hammer the blade through a cinder block. The video may still be on YouTube, and I recommend giving it a look. That was test 7 or 8, by the way.

I'm not home now but if I recall correctly it's probably about an inch. I have a pretty small Wustof paring knife and it ses to me that it gets most of it.

the blade is sharp and ready to go. You can make it sharper if you desire bur not necessary.

It's been cutting 1/4" glass fine for me. Just keep an eye on the blade; when it starts chipping, replace the blade, but it seems to last quite some time.

I think at least 24, maybe 40. It is an 8 inch blade. There is not a lot of space between the teeth.

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.

I haven't used it that many times but so far it's okay. The knife is not sharp to begin with. It has just enough edge to "squeeze" between the hard outer shell and the inner one. Most of the work is done by wiggling your hands instead of cutting anyway.

Actually much the same as store bought. If you want it finer can run through the fine blade twice, but we find that a little mushy.

I chipped the top of the blade. It was using it as a lever so I don't think that's the knife's fault. Over than that its a great blade for it's price range.

Very much so... When you receive it....use a 'Fine' side of a quality sharpening stone ie: Smiths, to hone out a "truely" razor sharp edge. I've never, ever received a razor sharp blade from a mail order source. Sharp...? Ehhh...yea, I guess, but the term is relative. Anyway....as a weapon? If you swing and slice with that sword out of the box...it will cause true damage, and of course possible fatal result. Use a fine side of a stone on edge, and only takes about 15-30 proper strokes...at correct angle, and you will have a formidable weapon. Be careful. Razor Sharp in careless hands will hurt more than just the bad guy. Very much so...

I haven't used it much, but I don't foresee a problem with it. I did make a lanyard for it to make it safer to use. Nice knife for the price

The blade is quite sturdy. The whole knife is sturdy. I have it on my keychain so I don't do a lot with it but it has held up excellent being on a keychain.

I can get an average of 4 really nice shaves out of a Feather blade.. That's pretty good cause there is not a blade that last me long. Feathers give a nice smooth shave
