How thick is the steel?

It measured out at .262, which is slightly thicker that 1/4 inch. (1/4 inch would be .250)

Approx 3/8" thick! Outstanding knife! I want more and recommend this knife to anyone interested in a Solid Metal Knife and as the handel is hollow metal it is perfect to store things in and could be used as a spear for hunting (survivor-man style:)

I was surprised to see the knife when it arrived at my house by ups, it was the biggest knife I ever owned almost a machete, as to your question of is it still 1/4 inches thick, I have to say it is close to about 3/16 thick. it is a sturdy knife and I will stand up to the job.

7 gauge steel is about 3/16" thick. (.1793") It's plenty thick and heavy. I haven't had any issues with warping but it's best to let it cool slowly/evenly on a flat surface.

Patti... I have never cut steel any thicker than 1/2 inch. Cutting tip works well for this. ~~don ~~

it's advertised as steel. it's kinda on the heavy/solid side so i'm gonna say steel as well.

The knife I received is about .125 inches thick and had something more like a sabre grind one it. It wasn't as sharp as I like out of the box but was easily made shaving sharp. I holds an edge very well and performs great as far as I am concerned. Like all carbon steel knives, you will have to take care of it in a humid environment. I really like mine. For the cost, I can't complain.

The blade steel is 1/4 thick I highly recomend this as a hard use survival blade!

It's pretty thick, about an inch thick. Unfortunately, I had to return it twice because it arrived broken. I ended up buying a marble slab from an antique shop for much less. Good luck.

I don't know the exact thickness. But it's sturdy. It doesn't feel as though it will break

I don't know the thickness, but I can tell you it is very sturdy. It is not flimsy at all. It worked beautifully. And can be used over and over again. I would definitely recommend it.

Yes this is correct. The steel is 0.6mm thick. The difference is that you are looking at a small pencil lead whereas this is sheet metal. It is not as thin as you may be thinking.

I just measured mine. The blade is 10 and 3/8 inches measured from the highest part of the handle (the top of the curve) to the tip of the knife. The handle is 5 and 13/16 and the steel thickness is 3/16 inches. It weights 1 pound 6.4 ounces. It is a decent knife, I like it. The blade is finished with a green textured coating that looks nice but will show wear, and I coat mine with oil even though the green coating is meant to be rust resistant.

It is indeed steel. This is a superior product in function and design (appearance).

Like the responses you have received from others, I cannot tell you the thickness or gauge, but it is strong and sturdy. Mine is still going strong.

Not very thick at all.....I would say about 1/16" and that's all. It feels very durable though.

I would say 1/8-1/16th an inch. Not thick at all. Decently firm and stable though.
