3/8 thick tang from the cutting edge to back of knife is 1 & half inch cutting edge is 5 inch and will withstand ba toning for smaller pieces of wood very nice knife for the size

The blade is at least 3/16". Very heavy blade. Be prepared to spend some time putting an edge on it. It took me about 4 hrs with a course, medium and fine Arkansas stone to get it sharp.once you establish the edge, it's very sharp. Hope this helps.

The blade is about .190 inch a little thicker than 3/16 of an inch(.1875"). I'm not sure of the Rockwell hardness, tensile strength or shear strength but I would guess it will withstand a fare amount of prying and chopping force. I have a background in injection molding and tool steels but do not know what alloys or composition this Damascus blade. It does appear very well made.

It is quite durable! I would suggest not hitting the handle though, since that is where the speaker for the sound effects is. The blade can take quite a beating though!

The blade thickness is .156 or 4mm. One of Spyderco's thicker bladed knives in their current line up as far as I know.

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!

It's about an 1/8 inch thick, works pretty good, nice & compact, you'll need to sharpen the blade, I used a standard flat file

i perfer the robust myself thick blade can take a lot of abuse. However if you are looking for a really heavy duty survival knife check out the Schrade Extreme Survival knives [there are 3 styles i have the SCHF3N MYSELF] the spine of the schrade is 1/4 inch thick and knife weighs almost 1 pound you can check it out on you tube [ultimate survival tips has the best review] and its only 45.00 but of the Moras the robust is my favorite and i have it and the companion

The blade is thinner than most machetes. You are probably looking at about 1/8". However it does spring back or bend back to original shape with little effort. Good deal for the price as you can beat the crap out of it and easily fix it right up. Light enough that you can handle one in each hand and just have fun. Just be careful as they are very unforgiving when it comes to clumsy or drunken handling.

That blade is crazy sharp and its overall very sturdy for the price. I can't see it breaking unless you were using it on a tree or something super hard

This is from the ka-bar website. the Blade Thickness is 0.165 so it is less than 3/16" thick.

It can be used for batoning but make sure to use wood for striking never use rocks its a durable knife but it's not a axe or machette for general use outdoors it won't fail you.

Its 12" total and 7.5" blade. I don't know the thickness, but it is a sturdy blade. I have used it to clear wild yucca when hiking.

I am a homeowner cutting tree branches as needed. The thickest diameter is about 3". Unlike electric saw, I have to cut this thick branch on both sides for my easy handling. "Easy" means without stress and force. However, I have not experienced the limit or max. capacity of this tool. To me, it serves practically and neatly. Purchase recommended.

I'm not real sure how thick the blade is at its thickest, but the blade is hefty enough to do most camp chores. I believer the knife weighs in at just under a pound 14.5-15oz. Heavy enough, but not to heavy, holds the edge well, wouldn't be afraid to really get into it with this blade if the SHTF.

Sufficiently strong. If you swing it around and play with it and stuff like that, it won't break. Mine still hasn't broken =). But if you're expecting blade strength comparable to that of some of Cold Steel's blades, you're getting the wrong product.

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.
