Somewhere between 0.025" to 0.035" IIRC. Basically in the Native 5 range.

This is a no-go for me.

As much as I like thin edges on most of my knives - expecting a thin edge on the LT3 would be like expecting thin edge on the Ayoob. These are per design very robust knives. Thicker edge is part of that.

Yes, and the Lil Temperance's blade is thicker than even the Ayoob, considerably.

Much more acute and slicey primary grind on the Lil' Temp though.
