I set them next to a Paratchutmandu for size comparison. The large one is HEAVY. It has to be the thickest blade I own. The Gurkha was chopping red bricks with one to show its strength. I inspected the blade and there were no chips in the cutting edge. One of these little guys is a tiny knife. The other is a knife steel for sharpening. The man I bought them from showed me two categories; tourist knives and work knives. The highly decorated knives were not full tang, thinner blades and he said he doesn't recommend using them. I didn't buy those. JYD# 120

I have heard that some of those knives reach a half inch thickness at the spine. If you’re not Paranoid, You’re not paying attention Be a Sheepdog JYD#105

Skunk, I think this one is more than half inch. I'll take a pic with a ruler tomorrow. I think Leatherman had one on it. JYD# 120
