Hey guys, hope everyone has a blast at KC this weekend! I am just looking for a little info on some scale/handle thicknesses. I was wondering if anyone could give me the rough or exact thickness of a Boss Jack CG handle and an ASH-1 LE handle. Not the blade thickness, I know they are both .225" thick blades. But what I can't seem to find is any specs on their thicknesses WITH scales attached. The ASH-1 LE with magnum scales. As far as I know the Boss Jack only came with one standard thickness of scales right? Also, when the g10 scales of a knife are handshaped, about how much is taken off of the overall thickness? Thanks for the help everybody:)
 
Hmmm....the thickness of my ASH with Magnum Micarda is about an inch at its widest point. Hope that helps...
 
The boss jack is measuring at just a hair under 5/8ths at each palm dip and at the three swells ( front,palm, and back) I'm measuring 11/16ths. Overall, It's pretty thin compared to my other Busses. Kind of which I had liners put on. Amazing knife though. Hope that helps:thumbup:

And THAT is exactly what I was looking for on the Boss Jack! Thank you very much Christo! I have had a BJ CG on order from the Custom Shop for forever now, and it will have double liners. If I remember correctly, Garth said that each set of liners adds approximately 0.08" to the overall thickness. So that should bring me up to around 0.85" total thickness at the swells! (They will be handshaped too, so take a bit off that) Perfect:D:thumbup:

Alright now I just need an accurate measurement from someone at the swells of an ASH-1 LE (0.225" thick blade) with magnum g10 scales!!! Anybody care to help me out real quick? Just an excuse to break out your ASH and fondle it:D Thanks again guys.
 
I getting 5/8 or 0.62 at the dips, and 0.64 or 41/64 at the swells on my Boss Jack with G10 that has a quilted pattern. My .22 custom shop ASH1 has std scales.
