OH YEA! 
One of my favorite blades.
You have to use it for heavy chopping to really appreciate it.
It's a pleasure to use. I took one of mine out to the woods a few times and cut down some trees for fire wood. I actually prefer using it for these tasks instead of my SH-e. A lanyard also helps a lot in order to choke back for different chopping applications. I did have a problem once when I was chopping smaller brush on a bench and it happens; full force chop into a hidden screw head embedded on the bench table top. The result was a fairly deep roll. It would of chipped if it was not INFI. 2 hours of steeling on the ceramic rod and it was as good as new. I even retained the zero edge....

Yep. .220" for the finished NICK. The blanks were cut from .275" stock. I heard that this was the fate of the guy who screwed this up. Note the INFI blade on the guillotine

Yea for sure!!!! .15'' sounds good
But instead if a zero edge there should be a chisel grind, like on the Thin NICK.

Nice knife, Dwaine. Where'd'ya get it? LOL
Glad it'll be loved by someone. But make sure you USE IT! Hack up at least one chicken a year with it. Count yer digits after chopping too.

The problem with a chisel grind is handedness. Nothing is more frustrating than not being able to use a knife because of the grind. I will never purchase a knife with a directional grind.
Rick - I never liked the asymmetric grind either

I love the nick's. That was a great link to the story of the XXXL Nick's.
Man, I would not have wanted to have been the guy who screwed that one up. (and I have been party to an instant $250,000 mess up at one job because one supervisor forgot to tell us that a machine was broken and not to run it).
