Fixed blades

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.

Wonn Blade - This is his “chopper” model. About 6 inches of blade and an equal portion of handle at a hair under 1/4 stock 8670. I’ve only used this one a little and can say it cuts and carves better than it should and chops like a hatchet. Choke back for power and choke up to carve. One of the nicest makers I’ve had a chance to speak with. I believe he’s ex Military from the days of the Rhodesian Army and now lives in British Columbia - Very nice tools built for function with zero gimmick.

I’ll try to find a fire hydrant and let you know how it splits
