I consider 3/16" the standard for small and durable neck/companion knives. The Scoth Dispenser is the same thickness as the Fehrman Thru Hiker, for example. Not too thick, not to thin, so it is neither thick nor thin! For the record, I favor thick knives over thin ones for improved prying and pommeling <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> .
