This one is around .2735, not really sure how much the coating plays in, but it is fatter than most of my coated 1/4"ers.
The coating plays a lot in the PBF's. The crinkle coat seems to be extra thick in those. When you remove it, it wll probably be around 0.255 or so, which is still a healthy thickness. The crinkle coating is the thickes of all the coatngs IMO. The older smooth coat is the thinnest and the desert is next thinnest.
I love it when a Busse die hard finds a deal. Better than someone who doesn't know what he's got.
But I think you could have worked him down. Next time take your lap top with tel-card and pull up greco knives and show the guy that it is not a greco, but a copy, and a cool copy. Then offer him half the price and see what he says.
