I agree. For the sort of stuff most people will do with a 4.5" hunting style knife, 3/16" stock will cut WAY better than .267" stock. I'll be happy to wait until that one is released. I also hope Dan keeps the full flat grind rather than reverting to a high saber grind. Heck, a little distal taper would be nice for a knife this size, but that's probably asking for too much.
