how think is the blade?

Our caliper is acting up, but I'd say that the spine is about .125-.138 inches thick... Sorry, that's not a very good range, but I'm not really sure where to measure the thickness from. The thickness parallel to the spine is uniform, but there are differences in thickness from spine to blade. I would say that 1/8 inch would be a good estimate.

The blade is not thin. It is a strong, sturdy piece of steel that will cut through all types of brush and shrubs. I would get the longer blade if I had a chance to do it all over again. Less bending required....

I don't really know to be honest. However, the blade is rusting in spots and it's not really functional as a pocket knife.

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.

The blade is of the gauge and configuration of a decent steak knife. I wouldn't split logs with it. I would not de-burr ferrous metals with it. Aluminum, maybe, but only occasionally. Mine tests at 56 R(c). Don't try to pry anything with it. It takes and holds a good edge, what one would expect from a decent pocket knife. 'Hard' use might want a beefier blade. The locking method is super secure, though, and the handle is forever, even though there is no metal liner. I like this blade, and recommend it, but it isn't for everyone, and everything. Close, though.

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

I personally love the way it feels. I wouldn't be able to give a measurement, but I will tell u it feels great. Sadly, the only sharp part of this sword is the tip or the "blade". The rest is pretty blunt.

Elizabeth... I have no idea what the blade is made of but can tell you that my son has one as do I ... both of us use it almost daily for over two years and I have only sharpened min once... it's very sharp and it holds it's edge quite well!

The blade is polished and shiny, almost like a mirror finish. The blade isn't sharp, but you can't tell that it isn't sharp just by looking at it. If you run your fingers along the blade edge, it cannot cut your skin.

It feels pretty balanced to me. I don't use it as a throwing knife, but I've seen some vids where it has been. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GkgIcvwE8Xg

That's a good Question. From the looks of it, probably not. I still like it and it has a high "wow" factor. It would be the one knife I would want it I had one to choose.

the blade seems to hold an edge, and is very quiet. My only complaint is that it is a pain in the butt to clean, meat seems to get everywhere.Hope this was of some help to you.Dean

The blade itself isn't razor-sharp, you could grip it tight and not cut your hand. But it could be sharpened. The tip, however, is very sharp.

It is a double edged blade so one would need to be aware of the state and local regulations if you choose to carry this knife. It is a very robust knife. Well worth the small investment.

It's kinda what I bought it for haven't yet tried it. Might need different blade than what, or comes with. MY guess is it'll work

It doesn't look like it. Don't get me wrong is sharp as heck. I love mine especially for the price. I expected a cheap crappy sword i could use like a machete, but it actually feels really sturdy. And for the price i can actually use it and not worry about messing it up because i can just buy another one of i do. And do far it's been tough. My son and i have taken it out and cut through all kinds of stuff. 3 or 4 milk jugs full of water etc. It feels like it could take off a small appendage or at least do a lot of damage trying.

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.

its a good blade , the handle is a little thick for my hands and the blade came... "machete" sharp ,but those are problems fixed with sand paper and a work sharp . the finish is nicely baked on and durable and the handle is molded directly to the blade so there is no movement , overall a good blade and for the price its a good buy
