I am hoping for .22 or .25. For me a fixed blade with more than a 5 in blade is just right at that thickness.I'm hoping for $257 including Bruiser G10 on this one. So far the pricing deals this year haven't been quite as enticing as they were during O2W1, but the blades have been pretty interesting.
Edit: I also keep looking at the talon holes and just can't help getting excited at the possibility of this being .187" stock. It doesn't need to be an LB if the thinner stock provides the same end result while keeping the production cost down.

Wouldn't 3/16 in equal about .21-.22
I'd love to see a SE non coated option. Let the ppl who want the naked one check a box similar to the snag free choil box (dog soldier) but have the it state that the finish can be rough with cosmetic blemishes.
OK you guys made me do math I haven't done since high school.
3/16 = .1875
Based on my limited knowledge of the older knives in A2 (SH II, BA, MS), I think they were a minimum of 1/4" thick, with thicker versions of each available.... weren't a lot of the old skool A2 blades 3/16?
Mmmm. A2
That is true, instead of a fuller you may end up with a hole.I don't know if they would need to put a fuller on a 3/16" blade
Nice,
Any guesses on the price ? $347 ? Over ? Under ?
