Can someone post a photo of a new Max Duty and a Boney Active Duty side by side showing the spine/blade thickness? I'd really like to see what .09 looks like compared to .12 or .14...

Thanks, and sorry if such photos have already been posted.

Nice pics !!! :thumbup:
 
Cant wait for deer season to have a chance to give the Max Duty a proper workout.

Thanks, Gusbuster, for the great comp photos! The Max is not as thin as I was visualizing, he says reaching for his Busse depleted wallet...
 
Interesting pics, gusbuster. How does the feel compare? i.e., Is one handle thicker overall? Balance the same?

Sorry it took me a while to respond Will, I was busy at work last night. The Max Duty is slightly thinner at the middle tube .56 vs .60. The balance is a little more forward, almost at the index finger, on the Max Duty. The BAD is a little more handle heavy. The Max feels slightly lighter overall. They both feel great to me. The BAD is one of my favorite EDC's, and I will be including the Max into my EDC rotation.:thumbup:;)
 
Thank you very much for taking time to measure and post your impressions--much appreciated!
 
The skinny Elmax sounds great, but I wonder why Jerry chose to use a hollow grind instead of a flat grind? A nice flat grind just looks better and classier than a hollow grind, at least to my eye. YMMV.
 
Sorry, forgot to mention the blade thickness. I'm getting .135 on the BAD, and .096 on the Max.
