Hard Edge Nessmuk. I bought this knife about a month ago but haven't used it to I'm letting it go. I did polish the flats a little and strop the edge. Here's what the maker Kelley Ward has to say about it.
$70
SOLD

"This Nessmuk is 3/32 thick and made of L6 tool steel recovered from a vintage 10" table saw blade, the good old kind without carbide cutting inserts. Its blade is 3.5 inches long, 1.3 inches wide and an overall length of 8 inches. I differentially heat treat achieving an edge hardness of about Rc 60. The spine is left at a lower hardness for maximum strength. The blade is semi flat ground with a convex edge and a mustard patina artistically applied to give the appearance of age.

The wooden scales of this knife are Macadamia lace wood that are bolted with stainless steel screws and round brass nuts, Loveless style, and epoxied to the knives full tang and a brass lined lanyard hole. The bolts provide greater strength and durability than pins.

The tooled pouch sheath is made of heavy 8/9 ounce leather."

I don't have a great way to measure it. But it has a pretty good distal taper. I've owned one other master hunter that was much thicker. This master hunter is a great slicer, but is still around 3/16 at its thickest.
