Concerning blade dimensions, How thick is the blade @ the base of the spine?

Hi Justin, I had to return my shun reserve as you can see it chips easily if you're not careful. The high carbon steel makes it hard so that it's sharp enough to slice through anything. That also make it chip easily. The spine is 1/4 " and the blade is about1/8" recessing down to the sharpen part.

The thickness is maintained over the entire blade length. It is 1/4 inch thick

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.

About an inch thick but is tapered near the blade so generally not a major issue

The blade is approximately 6".Very well made knife, a little heavier than I expected. But the blade holds a great edge, and will give you a lifetime of use.

Just got this at work so I don't have the Boker with me, but it's thick!!! Maybe an 1/8 . Surprised me when I got it. The thickness of the blade is, visually, the same full length. I'd have to actually measure it to find out. It is srong and heavy. I carry it whenever I'm out in the desert or up in the forest area and it's been a pry bar, digging tool, knife, hachet etc. It holds an edge fairly well even with rough use. Never used the webbing cutter fixture, but I guess it would work well too.

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.

It's probably around 2-3 mm at the back of the base of the blade. It doesn't flex much, if at all, is sharpened on the cutting edge (though not terribly sharp), and is not chromed.

Less then 3 1/2 inches. It's a very thick knife. The quality of the knife is incredible for the price. Buy the knife, you will not regret it!

It is not a quarter inch thick. You are thinking of the esee 5 by Rowen. Jeff randall knife

The blade is very close to 3/16" , I think close to 5mm if you prefer metric, so pretty thick. It is made of stainless steel too just in case you were wondering.

The thickest part of the blade (the abrasive edge) is very close to 1/16th of an inch thick.

The blade is .155 thick and the handle section is .565 thick, I hope this helps!

From my measurement, the blade is 5mm thick, a nice hefty piece of metal. Minimal edge when shipped, but nothing a grinder and stone can't take care of!

From the information that I could find the blade is 2 mm thick. I hope this helps. Thank you American Survival Gear

Mine bought a few months back has a 3/16" spine at the thickest part next to the handle. It's a brute.
