Vic is right, a quarter of an inch thickness is beastly <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> And I love it!!! I love thick knives <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> The SOD is going to be one of my favorite knives I have ever owned I am thinking.... I still am going to be getting another S6 though. It will take one hell of a knife to unseat the mighty Scrapper 6, but from the looks of it, the SOD might be able to do it
