guess i just have enough thick blades, i'm ready for a change. my saks, moras, and new opinel are thin, and they're very capable. haven't tried with the saks but out of pure curiosity tried batoning the mora and opinel, both were fine. wouldn't use them for that normally, just had to see.
as for thin edges on thick knives, you must have missed my comments about the convexed d-mutt. awesome, to put it shortly. demonic.
