What is the blade width of this tool?

The soft-grip handle is permanently affixed for safety and durability; it is not designed for replacement.

How should I store this tool to prevent rust?
Store in a dry, cool place and keep the blade wiped clean and lightly oiled.
Troubleshooting
Mortar sticking excessively to the blade
Lightly dampen the blade with a sponge before application to create a non-stick surface.
Surface rust appearing on the blade
Use a fine-grit abrasive pad or steel wool to remove light oxidation, then clean and oil the surface.
