My 7" Ka-Bar Marine Combat is only about 1/8" thick. Nobody thinks of the Marine Combat knife as wimpy. I am quite sure that the Scrapper 5 will be thick enough to do the job. Dan didn't just fall out of the turnip truck. When did he ever offer a knife that wasn't tough? Probably the most delicate Scrapper is the 1/8" thick Bird Dog. Not a pry bar for sure, but it sure slices well and I have stuck mine in trees throwing it with no damage at all to that fine little point. It is my favorite EDC fixed blade. Relax, dogs, it's a Scrapper!

Size does matter, but in this case I think 3/16 is enough for this size.

I voted for 3/16" (.1875"). But I'd be happy with .165" if that's what the thickness turns out to be. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> Right on Brother! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> +1! I see the S5 as a really nice slicer, not a prybar; kinda like how I reprofiled my DMLE (Reconseed is probably calling blaspheny for what I did to it! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />). I'll love the S5 however it comes, but I'm hoping it's not thicker than 1/4". <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crossfingers.gif" alt="" />

That's right between 3/16" & 5/32", my two favorite thickness (so far) for knives these size. +1 .165 sounds just about right to me!
