Now that I have scored my SAR5(in route) I am looking to start into getting more small INFI(pretty much everything Ive scored since my addiction began has been 5"+). I have a FAT GW now but recently saw a pic of somebodies(forget who) MrS that was apparently around .25". Is this accurate? Are there FAT MrS's out there? What are the thicknesses of standard MrS? For that matter are there any AD at around .25" as well?
Sorry for all the questions but this has been bugging me trying to find some short/Fat blades as these seem to interest me the most.
Thanx

iirc the original offerings were .200 and .220 (le) for the meaners.

but there have been so many variations and rereleases, there may be some .250's out there.
 
the shortest fattest blade out there is the off duty. .300 i think. its a fat active duty, basically.

the heavy duties were around .190.

Thats the pic I think. I need one of THOSE!!! Is it a LE,SE,Custom? General price maybe? Ive just put down about $600(ANOTHER ASH,SAR5 and a Dumpster Mutt) in the last 2 weeks but Ill recuperate quick I think. I havently seen them on the exchange that I know of but not alot of the MrS's seem to state the thickness so I could be wrong. Thanx a bunch guys, at least I know Im not crazy now.
 
Not an LE or a custom. Just a standard satin Black paper.

Most of whats on the exchange these days are from the milganzza which are leaners.

A value? I wouldn't be be shocked if one like this went for 600 though. That's just a guess cause I wouldn't sell mine.

My MrStreets are about .23. My Off Duty is .345.

There are some nice FAT older Mean Streets out there too. I have one that is .291. And also DWMS at .271 and .24. I'll add pictures in a bit.

I didnt realize there was that much variation of the thickness.
 
The older model Busses had a lot of variation in thickness. I remember PapaThud eventually started separating them out, because some people preffered the thin and some people liked em thick.
 
The Jungle MrS is .250

From left to right JMrS .250, Model T .200, MillyGanza MrS .185, LrMrS .150

Here is a pic. The camera needs to be recharged so I'll add a side view in a while.

That is an odd one.

It may have started life at about .24, that is what it measures at the butt. But a prior owner sent it to Bark River to be given a full convex grind so now it is about .22 at the blade spine near the slabs and tapers to the tip.
