A wear component for a ground engaging tool includes a mounting portion having a first surface, a second surface, and a thickness between the first surface and the second surface. The mounting portion is connectable to a mounting assembly of the ground engaging tool. The wear component also includes at least one wear portion connected to the mounting portion and forming at least one ground engaging edge. The at least one wear portion has at least one first surface including at least one groove extending from the at least one ground engaging edge toward the mounting portion, at least one second surface, and at least one thickness between the at least one first surface and the at least one second surface. A maximum of the at least one thickness of the at least one wear portion is larger than a maximum of the thickness of the mounting portion.
