Without taking the knife apart all you have is the lock portion that is exposed when you open the blade. Then you have a good gap between the G10 and the lock so you can get your caliper over both sides of it and straddle the lock for a quick measurement. Down where it gets in tighter toward the G10 (toward the cut out and past the finger grooves) it measures a mite thinner but going back to the groove portion it is slightly thicker. I am sure that all would be different though looking at the others I have in the way of productions.
Many times I've bought .040 sheets of titanium and got it to find out when I check it that it can measure .043 or .041 in other places and some may have a variance of as much as .005 in places but rarely.
I guess it is possible that Kershaw bought a sheet of steel that was sold as .070 that actually measured .075 and that this is what was used in at least the knife I got but in some other places it seems thicker than this by more variance than I normally see so I really can't say.
