I acquired this Geo Savage & Sons XX & this thing is a meat chopper! The blade is at least 1/4" thick & 15/16" at the widest point but has a little more hone wear to the toe of the blade. It's a lot larger blade than I expected. The scales are huge like the W&B FBU. It almost reminds me of my Birke which is 1" at the widest point but is also a huge meat chopper.
