how thick is this machete?

It is 2 mm thick according to my ruler. As Mr Thomas said, not flimsy at all. This thing could almost be a sword!

Very thick for a machete, not flimsy at all. The spine is like two or three millimeters thick. This machete gives small axes and hatchets a run for the money and does not bend or flex much at all when chopping. We are very pleased with them and would highly recommend them. They are heavy but you can use two hands if needed.

The Cold Steel catalog came today!! Talk about good timing. Blade thickness on the ATC is listed at at 2.8 millimeters.

The blade has ample thickness comparable to that of two silver dollars placed side by side. The blade has a very even balance despite how it might first appear, I have put mine to the test time and again and had excellent results. This machete can be used for anything from camping to the jungle and it will holdup to any test or task you may give it. I would strongly recommend this machete if you are looking for something to use all the time and need a blade that lasts. Cold Steel in general has very well made products that more often then not exceed expectation, you can't go wrong with their products.

It's pretty thin, about an inch wide without the paracord. I ended up just making a wooden handle for it. It has 2 holes in the tang, so you won't have to drill them out yourself.

thousands? NO IDEA! it's 1/8". Don't waste your money on this machete. Buy a CONDOR MACHETE. You'll be glad you did.

I think it's a bit thicker than the last ones I purchased. My husband estimated it's about 3 1/2 inches.

Thick enough for any normal knife, and machete, but nothing wider. VERY good unit, by the way. Best electric I have used, especially if you follow up with a steel.

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.

About 1/4" thick. It's just right for ironing, not too thick and not thin. This was a very good purchase for me as now I can cut fabric and iron my blocks wherever I go.

its about 1/2 inch thick. We love ours! it has saved my wood table from so many rings!

4mm thick is what it says when you Google it online. It's a solid and we'll built knife! We bought it as one of our first real survival knives and it's amazing. It's solid, sturdy and can take abuse. It's a beautiful knife and we recommend it! I've gotten two more for our kids. I recommend the smooth blade because it holds an edge better then the serrated edge.

It's pretty quality. The blade is thinner than other machetes that I have, but it's durable enough to take a beating and you can put a good edge on it. You'll need to, though, they don't really sharpen them before shipping

The thickness is the same as 4 quarters stacked and is continuous from butt to tip. The balance is right on. Shorter than I imagined but great in the woods. Replaces the machete. A nice add to my collection

The blade is 3/16" thick. I don't know how to measure the tang, as it is not a conventional tang. LOL! One solid piece of 1085 carbon steel, don't think you have to worry about breaking it under normal use. Very nice knife.

3/16" according to this http://lmgtfy.com/?q=gil+hibben+cord+grip+blade+thickness

Its about a quarter inch thick, works great for .22 but gets dented by 9mm and my 7.62x54r went right through lol...

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.

The overall length is just right. You would not want it to be any longer, or for that matter, any shorter. It is a great machete.

The blade on the Bolo Machete is 2mm. I have found it to be a good chopping tool and is quite capable of taking down 2" thick saplings and larger with no problem. It has a good spring temper to it.
