A TOPS Lil Roughneck is a 3/8 inch thick slab of 5160. The CRKT CEO has a blade height of about 1/2 an inch. The Roughneck’s spine is almost approaching the full height of the entire blade on a CEO. One’s basically a sharpened crowbar, the other’s a discreet little executive shiv lol.

I hate them both and would never use either. With that in mind, get something wacky and go with the roughneck

I don’t see the point of a knife that thick if it’s also gonna be a 2″ blade.

Blade thickness / grind has been a constant battle for me when purchasing knives. Every knife seems to slice and handle chores somewhat differently. Right tool for the job I guess.
