How thick is the handle when compared to other neck knives, like the CRKT minimalist, ESEE Izula, SOG Snarl, etc?

I've got both and the SPEW and the Minimalist have equivalent thickness handles. Unfamiliar with the other knives you mentioned.

The snarl is the thickest. Never seen an izula in person. Minimalist is most hand filling length. From what I here blade metals r so good now, thickness is a non issue. Regardless, I changed to a sog snarl last month from the spew. Carry it horizontal belt buck weak hand draw. Love it.

I haven't measured, but the blade is a thick blade and seems quite strong. There is no tang, since the blade and handle are milled from the same piece of steel. The hollow handle is the tang. I have several knives made by Chris Reeve that caused Schrade to produce this knife. Mr. reeve's knives are not as thick bladed, and are obviously higher quality, but this is a very good approximation for hard use. I also like the screw drivers in the handle, although the prevent the butt cap from screwing down all the way. It is a great value in my humble opinion. I don't have to use an expensive Reeve for the same purpose. You might also look at Zero Tactical. I haven't measured, but the blade is a thick blade and seems quite strong.

A little thicker than 1/16 of an inch. Comparing it to other knifes I'd say its a tad thicker than a mora No.1 or about the same but the blade is much wider and its full tang so it'll be tougher. I wouldn't accuse a mora No.1 of being weak.

I measured it using a caliper, I will give you the thickness in metric because it's more precise; it's exactly 5 mm thick (slightly less than 1/4" thick). The 5mm thick flat back side goes about half the length of the blade then starts tapering on the back, but there's a "spine" in the center of the blade that is also 5 mm thick and it goes all the way from handle and the center spine is 4.5 inches long from handle, after that the blade tapers and forms a spear point. if you zoom to the pictures you can see the center spine tapering off from all directions to form the spear point in the final 1 inch of the blade. Overall blade is 5-5/8" long (a hair less than 5 and 3/4"). Do not settle for a blade smaller than this. there for I would not recommend smaller blades such as Bear Grylls Ultimate Pro knife because it is less than 5".

Not sure how it compares but handle is thin while still giving a good grip. I don't think its to bulky for a neck knife but it's not tiny

My blade is 2.65". I am not a heavy user but the the handle appears to be excellent quality. This is one of my favorite knives. It has a great feel and look without being flashy.

Seki City Japan. Using VG-10 steel, FRN handle scales. It's a good quality knife and I did a lot of research before buying it, but at the end I bought it mostly because I loved how it looked. If it were me, I would buy an Ontario Rat Model 2. It looks more simple, but the craftsmanship is way better, zero blade play and built like a rock. And it is half the price. Also look at the Benchmade Mini Griptilian.

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

The blade is pretty thick, I measured it to be about a eighth of an inch which is larger than all my other knifes. It is very sturdy, razor sharp, and hasn't let me down yet.

I believe 3/16, it is comparable to a CS Master Hunter. It is a good strong blade thickness.

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.

I don't know what its listed at where but it is plenty thick. I also have the gi tanto which is the same length but much heavier. The recon tanto is my favorite/best knife. I highly recommend it. It holds an edge and is extremely strong and of good quality

The blade thickness for this model is 0.165 Its slightly less thick than the average kukri, but still thick enough to do the job.

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 one I returned was apparently the first version and did not resemble the model on their website. The area you're asking about was less than an inch on the nessmuk I handled. The handle on the returned knife narrowed more significantly and was smooth as glass, which was a criticism. This was not my favorite Condor knife.
