Let's try again
History says the Meaner is .220, the Model T .200, the Milly Meaner ~ 0.187 - 0.195 and the Leaner is .150.
The recent Custom Shop Meaners are flat ground to .170
Leaner, Leaner, Model T, Meaner Street, Stealth Street, Milly Meaner x2, Ganza Meaner, Custom Shop Meaner
Leaner, Milly Meaner, Model T, Meaner Street

Thanks for bringing this up (and for the great answer, jimmyjones)!
I've been here for a couple of years now and until now still have been confused. Most specifically, I have a Miliganza Meaner and I wondered if it was indeed a Mean or Meaner.
I didn't realize it was it's own class of Meaner compared to the original Meaners.
Good thread :thumbup: and JEALOUS of jimmyjones collection!

The .150 leaners will be hard to find, and the original .220 Meaners.
The .195 (I call them tweeners) are easy to find at a good price, as are the more recent .170 flat grinds.
How'd I miss you scoring that Black Paper Leaner

Yeah, it's getting tough to know what to call the newer models, with all the variation in size.
I once traded into a older DCBB Meaner, but it was too fat for me. Last I saw it was still on Tony G's table. I would like a real Leaner. There was a nice Custom Shop satin piece at the spring KC show, with really thin wood scales, would have a great low-profile EDC, but I had already spent too much.

They are the best of all the Leaners arn't they Jimmy:thumbup:
I think I got it not long after see'ing yours at Blade 07. I would like to get a Snake and Tiger Leaner to go with the matching Meaners, but I finally got tired of looking(and $ got tighter). If not for a very kind Hog I never would have scored the Black Paper Meaner.
When you get tired of that ole Snake Leaner let me know
