Thickness behind the edge

[dfarm]

Did I hear thin BTE? Would you like to talk about our lord and savior AEB-L at high hardness?

Yes! I like it at ~62 rockwell c and .008-.010" before sharpening on my kitchen knives

A lot of modern knife manufacturers try to think of the user-abusers when they make their knives, so its an established trend, im seeing some slightly thinner blade stocks there and here, stay tuned and keep an eye out. On a personal note im happy with 0.07-0.11

There is a reason utility knives are so popular
Low end steel but very thin blade stock.

But have you heard about his son MagnaCut's second coming from the kingdom of Erasteel?

Or the King, Magnamax, from the Land of Larrin!

Tips that thin make me nervous.

I still want to be able to stab, happy mediums exist but yeah they are fun to cut with

I still off and on carry one of several Kershaw Leeks with those scary thin tips. I've worried since day one I'm going to snap a tip off but haven't yet. But I'm also not trying to tighten screws or open paint cans with them.

Any knife I get, I try to set a low angle on the sharpener. Im a slicer guy.

I did this on a shark foot AD20.5 in D2 and it for sure helped but that thickness behind the edge still hampers it. All this has really gotten me thinking about future knife purchases.
