Request pics - Hold Out II 4" tip thickness
- Thread starter ourgon
- Start date
I took a pic but my service provider is doing maintenance so I can't upload it....my behind the edge measurements show the tip on the HO II CTS is .3mm and my farmer .2mm. Both very thin but the HO thickens quickly so looks far sturdier than the Farmer. Will post my pic if/when my service is back up.

Horrible pics, but hopefully they will help. :thumbup:

There seems to be a big variance with Cold Steel's tip grind though.
My normal satin 2015 XHP Hold Out II has thicker tip, while my 2015 brown DLC coated version has WAY thinner tip, even skinnier than the one on Paramilitary. Same goes for every other models, especially American Lawman. I've got 3 lawmans and they range from having tip thicker than Ultimate Hunter/Code 4 to as thin as the Hold Out, depending on how close the "spine" or the flat part of the blade terminates towards the tip.
My observation after buying more than a dozen of 2015 XHP/BD1 folders is that they generally have a thinner tip than their AUS8A counterpart.
