How wide is the blade?

I’ll estimate 7/8” to 1” max width. It’s in storage at the moment but I’ve used it a bunch crevacing on bedrock in AZ. Nice strength for deeper cracks.

Trying to decide between this and the 25 inch estwing geo/paleo pick for rockhounding with my kids? any advice?

Unless you need to be breaking rocks, like quarrying, the Burpee Pick is probably plenty. If you are planning to park the kids a few feet away while you do overhead swings to bust rocks, then go up to the 25-inch geo/paleo pick.

Anybody know where I can order a sheath?

I made my own, go to a craft store - leather rivets / leather. It looks very similar to the Geology hammer sheath that Estwing sells or you can get standard hammer loop ( the point and cutting head will not be covered) Good luck!!!

Versatile, sturdy and comfortable.

I use this for semi precious gemstone mining specifically chalcedony. There is a lot of digging and prying and scratching involved this pick is ideal for that. incredibly sturdy and exactly the right size to also use in small tunnels. Considering the gemstones this pick has helped me dig out and the quality of the tool I think the price is good. Since i can work with it all day without tiring i consider it to be very light and the grip fits my hand very well.

I only wish I had one years ago!

This tool is perfect for field work. The chisel end, and pick-end combo is perfect for opening up a crevice, or picking through rough stuff. The Magnets, and I-beam handle with a two-handed grip make this pick a dream to use.As a prospector, this is my first choice.

Top of the line

Rugged and lightweight. Perfect for a day of rock hunting when you need something more than a hand pick.

Good but heavy

It's a great pick but it is very heavy for its utility for back country prospecting. I bought one and I use it mainly to trim specimens at home now.
