So I have a few friends who serve over seas and abroad. I've made a few knives for them. A squad wants all matching knives, they will not be using them for crates and boxes and tool usage(they already have that bit of the kit covered) they described it as sentry removal which gives me the willys. However I want to make the best tool I can plus I like knowing something I made can get them home safe.
Anyways, 1" wide blade, in the 4.5-6" length, double ground but only halfway on the spine side.
Would 1/8" be thick enough? I like the idea that it would cut and penetrate better, and these won't be used for prying and the like. Or 5/32?
Love to hear any and all thoughts. I won't use 1/4" and even 3/16" feels too thick for something only 1" tall.
Thanks
