Like I said, it's still about as thick as the tang (and the wing is connected to the head, so front-to-back strength should be OK). I can't see the side-to-side thickness at that point in the photo. If somebody was to try to stab a naked or lightly dressed human with that blade, I'd bet on the human failing before the blade.

It isn't as strong as the uncarved blade would have been, but looks sufficient.
