I have seen some knife blade that are .31 thick. It would be awesome to own the thickest knife out there. Let see some pictures of your thickest blade.
 
I don't like knives to thick because the thicker they are the more they get away from their defined purpose, which is to cut things. The thicker a knife the more inefficient a cutter it becomes.
 
I agree with you, but that's not what he was asking for.

My thickest blade was the TOPS Tom Brown Tracker. Got rid of it.
 
For many tasks a knife with 0.057" at the thickest part like my Opinel #6 is a better tool for the job.

My thickest is about 0.375" - but it is more of a chopping & batoning knife than a cutting & slicing knife. It weighs 26oz and is about 15" in total length. I wouldn't use it for food prep or whittling.

If you want even thicker then there is this 0.500" knife available here:

But at 2 - 2.5lbs and ~18" total length it is a bit big & heavy for many tasks.

If that isn't thick enough you could try this one at around 0.560":

It is 20" long and 3 - 4 pounds in weight though!
 
Since I love knives, my quiver would not be complete without a really thick folder.

I recently acquired an Ontario XM-1. The blade is 3/16" thick.

How about .320 Busse FFBM-LE AND HFSH-Proto, Their both beast's choppers! :D I have thinner models but for batoning, chopping and prying, digging you can't hurt them. :thumbup:
 
The thickest ones I have are my HI Khurkies, some are 1/2" + thick.
 
My PML 3V chopper is .266" thick.

My Cold Steel SRK is my thickest knife. I'm a big fan of thin blades, so I don't have many thick ones. :)
 
My thickest fb is a RAT Culery RC-5 at .250":

My thickest folder is likely my BM 630 Skirmish at .160" (center below):

I think you'll find the BRK&T Bravo 1, 2, & SS are all, like my Gameskeeper, .215" - not .250".

My two small HI kuk's are around 0.32. Great little choppers, but not too good at slicing. They sure have a nice heft to them, though.

thx - cpr
 
My thickest fixed blade is .260" thick and is a CRK&T Hisshou. My thickest folder is .187" thick and that is a Strider AR.
 
i have a tops mochassin ranger and is .25 which in mho is too thick considering the type of grind it has
 
I have a .320" Busse, and more than a few fixed blades that are .250". I really don't like 'em much thicker than .250".
