Maybe I'm missing something here but I have a S6 and I have the edge raised on it.From the bottom of the edge to the top of the edge where the coating starts,is 1/8".It is possibly one of the best cutters I own.I can cut cardboard,paper,wood,flesh,and also shave with it.And it's very durable;I've chopped everything from wood to concrete with it,with little to no damage.Scrapyard makes one hell of a knife!
