Hi Everybody,

which do you think is thicker ? Blade thickness.

By looking at them.

The results may surprise you LOL

Not sure if you're asking about handle thickness or blade stock, but the stone washed blades look a tad bit thicker even though I'm sure they're the same, it's the rounded spine on the coated blade that makes it look thinner. I've noticed this same optical illusion on my own knives.

But if we're talking about the handles, looks like the brown handles are tad bit thicker. Something about the rads on each one making them appear to be different.

Is this the GSP?
 
Left and right are very close. The middle looks thinner maybe because of the black coating
 
Left one looks thicker. But the coating does add some “artificial” thickness doesn’t it?
 
& right, too 😉🤙
I weighed mine due to same curiosity, the micarta/coated GSP (Sage) was approx 2g lighter than my stonewashed/micarta GSP. The coated one looks thinner to me also, both mine & yours 🤔🤙
