Thicker ?

The black blade

Correct

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?

Talking about the Blades
The stonewash look larger but the coated one is thickest

lighter colors always look larger, but I am going to say they are all pretty close to the same size.

Not all the same

All the same thickness

Not all the same

When are GSP sheaths gonna be available?

Available Now

I’m going with same thickness

Not all the same

Left one

Nope

Left and right are very close. The middle looks thinner maybe because of the black coating

nope

Left one looks thicker. But the coating does add some “artificial” thickness doesn’t it?

correct

left.

Nope

Left

Nope

Gonna go with left as well for $300 Alex

Wrong

Left

Nope

& 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

Nope coated is thicker

Trick question. They’re the same.

Nope

The middle one

Great following guess

Going to say middle as well

Great following guess

Nope

The Uncoated Stone washed blades are .110" thick at the ricasso and .110 " at the tail end where blade is exposed at the rear "thong hole".

The Black coated blade is .118 at the "thong hole" and .118 at the ricasso

So black really is slimming by .008"

Thought it was a cool optical illusion

working on sheaths, order them up if you would like some

David, color me surprised
What are their weights?

Not so surprised. The coating is likely where the difference is.

did you not already weigh yours ?

I don't have calipers, but my Coated in sage seems the same thickness, it's weight is 2g lighter than a satin.

Was just curious if yours were similar- coated being lighter than satin.

I don't have calipers, but my Coated in sage seems the same thickness, it's weight is 2g lighter than a satin.

So you are saying they are two different knives?

The same knife one satin and one coated, the coated will always be thicker. Unless the coated ones are made from different stock.

Yes. I ordered 3 GSP's- 1 sage/ tan canvas & 1 satin/ black canvas. The 3rd is a satin/ black G10, obviously heavier than the other 2.
The sage/TCM is 2g lighter than my satin/BCM. I weighed them because I could actually feel a difference in hand. The Sage actually looks thinner, but I'm discounting a lot of that as an illusion to me visually. The scale is consistant with the weights though.

Moral of the story: I need to wear black more often.
