Is it stock removal or forged? Forged knives can be thickened with careful work with the hammer.If this is a BF no-no, sorry for the faux pax. I just know that a lot of you guys in this thread buy and use various steel plate offerings on the regular, and didn't want to start a thread for a single question...
A few years back, I was looking to get a very large 8670 blade built and found that the maximum available stock thickness was .225". If I remember correctly, ALL the knife makers that I contacted informed me that the thickest 8670 stock that they could acquire was .225".
I'm currently looking at an 8670 knife that is offered in 1/4" thickness.
Did I not get the memo? Is 8670 plate now offered in thickness beyond .225"?
Thanks in advance.
