The handle tapers from the pivot to the butt. ...& of course its contoured. At the thickest it is a little over 1/2" thick, tapering down to around 3/8". At it's thickest, it is around the same thickness as the SmF. The blade is right around 3mm thick. It's thinner than I would think Strider would use... but nice for sure. It's pretty much the exact thickness of a Sebenza's blade. The Ti & G10 scales are a lot thicker than a SnG or an SmF. The knife's handle feels "beefier" in-hand than my SnG-CC. The contouring is a lot better than on the CCs. I would say that at the thinnest places in the scales, the mini SJ75's are 2X as thick.
