Lol, it looks like Jerry edited his original post. Well, either way, .22" thick sounds better than .25".

Well now, this is an interesting twist of events!!! Thanks Bossman!!! 
Wasn't planning on stripping on this one, but now I may need to make at least one of 'em a stripper... 
Yeah, they were originally to be 0.25".

So stoked to hear this, ~.220-.225" sounds great.
Almost didn't pull the trigger on the CG because I wasn't sure about the balance/weight distribution. Very glad I did now.
Very cool that the Bossman recognized there was an opportunity and didn't hesitate to address it!
Merry Christmas to all!!!

I imagine having that .25 stock In the blade made them super unbalanced. This is nothing short of what I would have done myself.

I will add that I'm glad that the pros got to take care of this one. I'd have butchered it. ☺
Merry Christmas!

This should make it a much more rounded knife. Very glad to hear this. Can't wait to get dinged

Is it full flat now, or still saber grind?

He didn't say anything about switching to full flat, so I'm sure it's not.

I would be less than impressed if it were full flat. Awesome news on the surface grinding though. Thank You Busse Combat.

Not a fan of full flat?

Since Jerry changed the thickness to .225 on the original BB13 offering thread, it still states flat Saber-Good News as I also prefer the Saber Grind

Not on a chopper. Sabre is much tougher and I will take that any day over a deeper bite that gets stuck more and has a weaker edge. Full flat is for pocket knives and light duty fixed blades.
