Z-Tuff Chopper

Keep us posted. Ive never used zTuff. Looks like it should be an awesome steel. My current favorite is CPM 3V. I have peters do the max toughness HT on it (59-60HRC) and its damn near indestructable. Now if zTuff is just as tough at that hardness or tougher than 3v at higher hardness that would bw impressive.
I have used Z-WEAR before at 61-62HRC by peters and was very impressed. Holds an edge crazy long and is super tough. My testing was limited as it was a customers knife.
I would like to try out Z-Tuff and make one of my ETT machetes. Whats the thinnest it comes? (Looking for 0.146-0.155)
 
I contacted Zapp about their Z tuff availability. thinnest I could find was .207. Looks to be a great steel for a machete.

If this becomes available thinner, let us know? What do you see hat would make this a contender with 3v? Or better then Z-wear? I would use it for .155 to .185 knives in the 4 to 8 inch range
