6mm! Its going to be fucking tough like a hatchet if nothing else!
With the low bevel like that its also not going to reach super-sharp levels either. With your thicker base metal- if you stretched it out about 3/4 to 7/8ths of the width of the blade it tends to leave plenty of meat on the spine for strength and drops the point of balance further back towards the handle.
I'm fond of about 3-4mm on most utility type knives, seems to be a good mix of durability and weight, which is important for fatigue if its a work knife.
