SOB vs. SHBA Questions

[gk4ever2]

For anyone that has both the SOB and an old .25" thick SHBA, is the handle size the same height at the thickest part?
Concerning side-to-side thickness, I realize the SOB blade thickness is .164" (from the Busse web site), but are the grips the same thickness (old vs. new)?

Somewhat related, are the comp. finish SOB blades also .164" thick?

Thanks!

Gene - When it comes to the 2 old SHBAs I have, the SOB is thinner than one and thicker than the other, at the thickest point in the middle of the handle.

The top one in this link, with the dog tag, and the handles that look flattened at the thickest part is a little thicker than the other, and than the SOB..
