How thick is the blade on this tool?

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!

How to measure the thickness? It's my favorite garden tool for removing oxalis and other weeds. It digs easily, but never bends. It's a good weight--not too heavy, not too light. The handle is comfortable enough for me to use for hours at a time.

Nice strong blade. Does not bend. At the same time, I think I still prefer a regular tough trowel.

The blade is 1 1/2" wide at the widest part of the cutting area, somewhat concave and, in my estimation, is sturdy enough to outlast me, my son, and his kids. I don't know how to figure thickness without a measuring tool but tend to expect my tools to stand up to hard use. Hint: I misplace tools in the garden way too often so have begun wrapping a strip of that bright pink Duck tape on handles - it helps.

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.

It's just a hair over 1/16th of an inch. The blade is super strong and durable.

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

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.

Of course the blade needs to be appropriate, but the saw has plenty of torque and certainly I have had no issue in up to 1" thickness in all the mentioned materials. That is not to say that you could not go thicker, just have not used it over 1".

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.

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

Pretty damn thick. I'd say 3/16" at least. It's been good to me for the last 2 years. Get the kydex sheath if you can.The low end nylon sheath is crap. But the knife itself is really good stuff.

The blade is about 1/4 inch thick, very solid. Great for training or display.

Ours has gotten quite a lot of wear---but I would estimate 1" thick when new. This has been an incredibly useful tool for my husband who has knee issues and struggles with kneeling in the garden. We have been quite pleased with it.

I have never measured blade thickness but it is close to 1/32". Flexing of the blade shouldn't be a problem since it is designed to cut on the pull stroke. I have enjoyed using mine. It leaves a much smoother cut edge than traditional push stroke saws (even the Gentleman's Dovetail saw). Hope this helps.

The blade is very thick not super sharp. I'm not sure if it's fragile, we haven't used it yet.
