I just got a heavy heart off of the exchange,which is great, but it is .25 inches thick ! I thought the heavy heart was supposed to be .27 inches.
Can anyone clarrify as to what the dimensions really were on these knives ?
 
Sabre ground HH is .27 That can vary slightly among different HH's. Where did you measure it on the spine and with what?
 
I measured on the ricasso portion of the spine with a steel tape. Also, it is not fully flat ground.

Steel Tape? Bro...go get a mic. You're trying to determine 0.02 of an inch with a tape? Sorry man but I just don't see that happening.

If it has a saber grind it's a Heavy Heart. True, I have heard of some of them being under 0.27".

Is your knife stripped or does it still have the coating on it. If its stripped, it might be .25

Mine was .25 and even less when stripped. Yes, it was one of the very first HH and positively not a CGFSH.

Another key indicator of the HH FSH...
It will have a saber grind and the logo placement will be just below the saber line. (as seen in the pic above)

The regulare FSHs had the logo placement a little higher, closer to the spine.

Well, after reading all the responses ......mine is coated, has the logo below the sabre line and looks identical to the picture above. No mic yet but still pushes hard to fill .25 on the tape. Thanks again for all the great responses everyone.

what foo says, thicknesses have always varied somewhat, but the only consistant indicator for the HH's is the fact that they're sabre ground and the logo placement. there have been several threads on the subject if you care to do a search on them.

Two HH's with a FSH in the middle. (pic borrowed from Gerberblades)
Mines the bottom one that I finally gave some loving to last weekend :)
