I am curious if this will be 1/4 or 3/16 thick, either way I am fine, this will be one sick chopper.
I really think that this one is thin - probably 3/16ths. I think that is the reason why it is Sabre ground. It'll fill the shoes of a machete, yet will have enough behind the edge for some hardcore chopping. If it was 1/4"+ I'd want it to be FF or near flat convey grind, like the 11 series.
For anyone that has not held a CG DF, it is quite forward heavy. Not to a fault, but adding 3"+ to a blade nearly as thick as the DF might be, especially with the Sabre grind.
