For those who own the Olamic Busker, how is it as a slicer? Olamic lists its blade stock as 0.138 inches thick, which is thicker than my other small knives. If anyone has experience slicing with the Busker or knows how thin the blade is behind the edge, either as measured or in comparison to common knives, I'd appreciate hearing from you. Thanks.

I have the largo blade. It is not God's gift to slicing, partially because the way the front pseudo-finger choil is. It needs some thickness there. It is a bit thick for a smaller blade, particularly if your standard is Spyderco. The hollow grind does help in this department.
That being said, my KME got it wicked sharp and it does fine for me with slicing chores. Fit and finish are great, the knife is endlessly customizable and the customer service at Olamic is second to none.
