Do I detect a chisel grind? It'd be nice to see it open and some specs.

Pete Pruyn, dba Brothersville Forge, made this for me. It is a little thicker than 9/32"

Beautiful knife you got there congrats. Jeremy Horton actually made a knife called the 50 i think it was 1/2" thick.

If you look around his forum you could probably find it.

I think mentioning kukris is cheat since they are always thick. Customs kinda too. I thought the TS wanted to know the thickest of production knives.

The Ontario RD6 Signature Series was a production knife. A limited production knife.

"When it comes to hard-use knives(Outdoors), i'd like my blades to be nice and thick. I don't know too much about knives but the thickest knives i found are the Becker BK2, Esee 5, and some knives from Tops. Do you know any other "thick" knives? Couldnt find any knives thicker than 1/4 inch. BTW some photos would be nice."

Nope. Nothing about "production only."

In fact, the OP replied "Very nice!" to several custom knives posted in this thread.

That blade looked like it was cut sharply to one side when in the closed position?? Beast of a little folder. How do you like it?

Yeah man, its a very unique design for sure.

Actually this knife belongs to TuffThumbz.He seems to really like it, kinda to big for me, smooth as all hell though,Very well made.

I honestly didn't know that my NMFBM would ever be "thin", but compared to some of these big boys...damn

I have a Nexus Caio which is .30" thick(blade is 7.5" long) and David at Ozark Traditions Knives is making me a custom .30" thick chopper(8" long blade). I also believe in pry-bar thickness blades for all-around use knives.....just in case I need to chop down the average steel pole while I'm hiking!!
