All the Ganza Blades look VERY SWEET but most of the ones I like are too thick for my taste . Where are the skinnys? I realize a lot of Hogs and Piglets like the fattys but some of us prefer the thinner blades especially on the smaller knives(mean streets and smaller) are we going to see any of those in the future?
 
The Active Duty SE, Meaner Street SE, Leaner Meaner Street, AK47, SOW's and Anniversary Steel Heart 1 are all pretty thin.

If you only saw the look of disgust that a skinny guy at blade got. Skinny haters up in here :grumpy: :p ;)
 
Exactly why I love the ZT series. ALSO ABA, JABA, SP NARK.

The only Busse that I have ever preferred in the thicker version is the SJTAC LE over the SJTAC.
 
I assume by thin you mean there are not many of them because all the pictures I have seen the are pretty thick.
By thin I mean about the same thickness as my OJ GW about .140 . Now understand than is mainly for the EDC sized blades meaner streets and smaller. I can understand some added heft when you get to sizes BATAC and above.
But I will concede that on second look there are some leaner meaner streets that are very close to my specs.
 
I'm glad that I'm not the only one that likes a thinner blade!

I have a Hell Razor and NO-E, and although the handle of the NO-E seems a bit more comfortable, I prefer the HR simply because it is thinner/lighter.

And while we're dreaming/wishing, what about full-tang handle where only the spine is showing?

It's quite the testimony of INFI that rather than looking to alternate designs that fit the bill, we dream/whine about what our ideal Busse is.
 
We don't need no stink'n skinny blades!!! :eek: Big'uns for us!!!
 
Well make a score of one of these babies and grind it down to your satisfaction. You will have some INFI dust to use as a bargaining tool later.
 
Variety is the spice of life.. i love the thick girls..and the thin ones too.. a lot of love for em both.

Same applies to blades!
 
Approx thickness by size:

Small - 4" or less -.145

Med - 4 -6" up to .187

Large 6" + - .200 and up

Can't see the reason for a small knife to have a thick edge, but that's just me.;)
