ZT 0801 Need measurement

[Luis G.]

I need a measurement from a LNIB 0801.
I need the measurement in inches or mm (as accurate as possible) from the end of the swedge to the tip (transition from swedge to primary bevel).

Why ?

I need to figure out how much material I removed from my ZT 801. Depending how it's measured the knife is anything from 3.3" to 3.5". The measurement from the area I requested will give me a much better idea.

On a brand new one (never sharpened) with a tape measure just a C hair under 13/16"....closest point of frame to very tip of blade is exactly 3 1/2"...hope this helps but who really cares ?

bigmark, thank you very much.

Honestly I am probably the only one that cares. I like to keep measurements in mind when I sharp so I know how much material was removed for a particular knife in the event I sell it later or pass it on.
Also I like to know how much material I removed in the profiling versus time spend on the 120 grit edgo pro stone.

The reprofiling greatly improved cutting performance. It's original edge was horribly done.
