How thick is the blade, would it be good for slicing & such?

Yes. This is a blade for regular use when a larger instrument would not be practical. I have used similar blades during long treks and it functions well. It would not serve for building shelter, or defense. Not a general purpose knife, though. Too small.

the spine is a little more than a cm thick. i use it mainly for opening packages or cutting 550 cords. about your question is this knife good for slicing, I would say it can hold a sharp edge, so yes. however the size of the task would affect the effectiveness of this small blade.

Thickness of blade spine is .110", a little under 1/8"t. Length of blade's cutting edge is 1.951", a little under 2". Good little knife for cutting cordand such, could probably clean a small fish in a pinch. If by slicing your referring to food preparation, blade length might be little short.That being said, I like this knife. It's stout and handy.

I used this for garlic and it was fine, I wouldn't try to cut a carrot with it, not that the blade can't handle the task, it's just too small to be practical for that. It's almost a novelty knife but decently put together. It is VERY small, works nicely for sharpening pencils, digging crap out from under fingernails and slaying tiny tiny zombies :)

Not as thick as I had hoped for a knife this size. I don't have it handy to measure, but it is really built more for slicing vs. chopping. Much lighter over-all than I expected but, at $15.00 you can't expect much.

The blade shape makes it pretty good for chopping and slicing. I also like the flat blade for batoning. It batons just fine in my opinion, however, it would be better if the blade was a little thicker.Overall, it will get the job done, and the coating they put on should keep it fairly weather proof.

This slicer is amazing!Super easy to use and has varied thickness options. Hope this helps.

My granddaughter has mine at the present but I think you can adjust the blade so it slices thicker.

It's only around 4 inches wide so I would say no, unless it was a small cabbage and you quartered it before slicing. I wouldn't purchase this item it's very cheaply made particularly when you look at the price. When you bare down to slice it varies the thickness of the material you're cutting. I ultimately discarded the item is being useless.

No I can't. It is a stard blade for the exactly handle. Why ask for the thickness of the blade?

I don't have a caliper or other tool that could really measure that accurately for you. I can tell you that the blade is "pretty thick." Especially at the back or top of the knife and then thins somewhat as it moves toward the cutting edge. The knife isn't flexible. It is something that I think would work pretty effectively in survival situation for cutting or prying stout objects. Sorry I can't give you a more specific answer.

I would say yes but not without seriously dulling the blade. I'd suggest a different knife for that. Still a good knife though.

I think it will be great. I have used it for onions & pickles & it cuts quickly & as small as you want it. The blade is very sharp.

It's pretty thick. The blade is 3/16 inch thick. Feels really solid in the hand. good knife for the price.

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.

The blade is not too thick, but I don't have a way to measure it. The knife is fairly big as it is so the thickness is not noticable.

Not sure how to answer that but the blade is very sturdy and not large in any dimension. Its very slim from any dimension

Yeah the whole thing feels sturdy, id rather not choose this sword for cutting just cause im not too sure about the curves on it, I had to re-wrap the hilt just cause the leather wasn't glued on very well. It weighs about 4 lbs so it is plenty sturdy enouch to chop through things. I recommend if you were to chop anything, sharpen it first so it puts less stress on the blade.

The blade thickness is 0.19". The knife is very sturdy and thick enough to use in most situations in outside survival. My son has been very satisfied with the performance of the knife.

It's pretty thick. I've never measured it but it's substantial. The blade edge isn't all that though. If you're not doing tough tasks it will be fine and mine came razor sharp. I messed up the edge pretty bad butchering deer. I would have expected better.
