Thin bladed knife

[Knife Outlet]

I have a customer looking for a knife with a blade thickness of .040" or less. Its purpose is to cut the seals around aircraft windows. Any suggestions?

Why not just get a razor?

How thick is a cricket blade?

Ragnar has some on the Clipper handle that are listed as .050 at the spine tapering down to .020. Food for thought.

Does he work on airplanes/jets ? That's sort of an odd need , no ? call me paranoid.

Please elaborate. I would say a utility knife, unless I am on the plane

hmmmm maybe a folding fillet knife. I dont know how thick the benchmade fillet folder's blade is.

Thanks for the input, guys. I think the Super Knife is probably ideal for the application. This is a company that does retrofitting and repair to air frames.

I have done that, a standard Olfa knife is most common as it is the standard carpenter work knife.
