Patrol Machete thickness?

[kfgk14]

How thick is the blade on the patrol machete?
3/16" like the BK5/7/9?
I want a patrol machete so bad...I hope Kabar brings them back.

Hey, for any Becker knife info, your first-stop, one-stop shopping is the Becker Blade Database (see Sticky thread at top of forum). I'm copying from there...

o Camillus era
oo Shape: clip point
oo Edge Angle: 20 degrees
oo Grind: flat
oo Steel: 0170-6
oo Rc hardness: 58-59
oo Blade length: 14 inches
oo Overall length: 19 inches
oo Blade thickness: 0.188 inches
oo Knife Weight: 17.8 ounces
oo Handle: Esta-Loc or Grivory-GV-6H

Mine varies from .20+ near the handle down into the upper .17xx range as you move down the blade.

We aim to please here at Becker Central. Just check the Stickies first.
