Busse Heavy Duty Thickness To Blade Length Ratio

So I just scored a Busse Heavy Duty in the exchange yesterday. I am extremely excited for it to arrive, as it'll be my first Busse blade. But obviously that means I have no experience with INFI and how it reacts to varying thickness of blade. So I was wondering if anyone had any idea how the 5 mm thick blade on the Heavy Duty gels with the 3.5 inch length. It's in a weird mid range between 3/16th and 1/4th, so it's particularly tricky to find any form of analogue in other blade steels to see how it would perform.

So that's exactly what I am asking. Does anyone have experience with a similar combination of blade length and thickness (or even better, WITH a Heavy Duty), and what is your opinion on it.
 
Go to busse collector website, all measurements are there! The heavy duty is .20 thick. Enjoy. 😄

The measurements aren't really the focus of the post. It's how those measurements translate into performance that I am asking about.
 
I have a .27 thick Busse game warden that shaves arm hair easily

It will be a short tough little blade. Cutting is more a matter of the angles at the edge. I usually convex them a bit and find they make a good working knife for any thing you would normally use a knife on. I prefer that thickness over a 3/16th.

Does convexing a Busse void the warranty?
 
I'm relatively new to the world of busse, but I don't think there's much you could do to a busse that would void the warranty. People have cut into cars with their busse's and I believe the warranty still stands. I don't think Jerry and the busse crew have ever turned away a warranty request.
