Guardless Hiking Buddy?
 
It really helps to see them side by side, thanks to everyone for posting! I want to try a thin stock blade this time. I really feel like my Bravo edc doesn't cut well because of it's thicker blade. I feel that I have a good grasp on sharpening(imo), as I'm a cabinet maker and always loved sharp tools.
What is everyone's favourite blade thickness, and why?
 
Nbrackett, what kind of tangs are on those? Steel thickness? They are stunning!
Thanks! Those were my first three fiddleback's and they were all 1/8 Skeletonized Full Tang but have all found new homes. I started with them less than a year ago and have now had 50 or 60 since while holding on to 20 or so.
 
it depends on the knife & application.
On a EDC sized knife, I like 1/8" either SFT or TT. On a larger knife, I prefer thicker, ie..5/32 and in some instances i want 3/16". I've been waiting awhile for a 3/16" Camp Muk to come through to replace my 5/32". I want it to be a "honkin Bruiser"
 
If you like the larger sizes knives to EDC there is always the Monarch as well. I have been carrying mine quite frequently since I picked it up. It is an excellent knife.

Lately I have been carrying either one of my Hiking Buddies, Monarch, or Lil Lady.
