Is there a website that tells the thickness of all the Swiss Army Knives?

I know 3 of the 4 I'm looking at are 3.5" long, but it would be nice to know how thick they are.

Thanks.

*looking at the Rambler, Fieldmaster, Deluxe Tinker, or Super Tinker

Trip,

I carry a Deluxe Tinker every day.

What a combination of blades!

I love the pliers.

Just an overall great knife!

The width of those knives is shown on the SAK selector. I just looked up the deluxe tinker. It measures 0.9" wide. You have to make sure to select english on the search criteria. The knife sizes will still show in metric, but everyone eventually learns to refer to them by their metric size. The SAKWIKI also shows the widths, but only in mm.

That's the one I'm leaning towards out of the four.

Same thing as the Fieldmaster but has the pliers (which I'd use more) instead of the wood saw.

Same as the Super Tinker but has the pliers.

A lot more items than the Rambler for only $12 more.

But I'd still like to know how thick each of them are. It's tough to see how thick each one is from looking at the pics. The Deluxe, from the pic, looks a lot thicker than the Super Tinker (so it can have the pliers I guess) and I know it's a lot bigger than the 2.25" Rambler.

I'm just wondering if it's too large to carry everyday in my 'Docker' type pants.

Knowing the thickness would help me make that decision.

Thanks for the input!!!

Our Firewall at work won't allow me to go to the SAK Selector.

Any chance you could tell me the thickness of the 4 knives I'm looking at?

Super Tinker
Rambler

I greatly appreciate the help!!!
