Ronin in 1/8" thickness?

[anythingsharp]

Hello,I just got a Ronin and it`s 1/8" thick instead of 5/32",even the tang portion is 1/8".The blade tapers to almost paper thin.Is this a new model?

Do you have an older one with a thicker blade? I don't own a Ronin, but just measured a couple other Spydies with 4mm blades (Manix and Chinook II), and they both were a lot closer to 1/8 than 5/32, so am guessing it is normal.

I have a ChinookII and 2 Lil Temps in 440V and S30V,all 5/32" as advertised,the Ronin is exactly 1/8".I dabble in knifemaking and spotted it the second I took the knife out of the box.The point is very thin,it could be a lot thicker without sacrificing the slicing ability while greatly improving strength.

Both Lil Temps and a Chinook II measure 4mm at the ricasso,the Ronin measures exactly 3mm.

My question is: will Spyderco exchange this Ronin for a regular thickness one or for a knife with the same retail price?

I'm sure that someone will respond right after I post this but the best way to contact Spyderco for this type of question is to call or email them directly.

while the spyderco web page lists it as 4mm, the newgraham spec sheet says 3mm.

while ngk is more prone to type-Os than spyderco, in this case i think an error was made on the spyderco site.

Thanks for all your responses,guys.I guess the only one who can give us the final answer is Sal himself.
