You are doing a range of tasks pretty much what I do, cardboard is very abrasive on knives most users know that. I've built and tested thousands of knives for a maker and I assure you I can feel flex in blades with thin stock even up to .16 So far this 2.8" inkosi isn't too bad, it gives a little on 3 layer cardboard but has good control and is holding a good edge, I'd bet the 3.6" blades will flex a bit more, simple leverage. Thanks for the input.

I’m not trying to sound like a smart ass, just curious. Why don’t you build your own knife that is up to your standards?
I have built quite a few fixed blades from scratch but never a folder, don't have the machinery to do that precision work. I don't mind customizing a reeve if I have to which is likely just shortening the blade 1/2" and maybe trimming the scales 1/4"
I did get someone to measure the seb31 s35-45vn and they are only .12 so not an option for me. It's looking like I'll get the Large inkosi since it's .14 then maybe mod it if I don't like the length.
Thanks for your input.
