Re: MT35 Thin
That is amazing. I wish we could buy them like that.
Re: MT35 Thin
Your caliper's readout is confusing me... Is that 735 ten-thousandths?
Re: MT35 Thin
I'm reading the spine as .074, is this wrong? (My brain only deals with 3 places after the decimal)

Re: MT35 Thin
Wow! Looks like super slicer indeed. With those BTE numbers (~7 thousandths?) I would have expected a smaller edge bevel at ~12. Regardless it looks awesome, and I like that you polished the primary grind to a shine. Looks awesome!
Re: MT35 Thin
Thanks for all the comments. I used a Lapidary cabbing machine to do it. It is hard to see from the pictures but there is a bevel from about mid blade to the spine.
The measurements are the thickest parts of the blade.
.0320" = .82mm
.0725" = 1.84mm
.0735" = 1.86mm
BTE is .003" or 0.76mm and mid spine is .0535" or 1.35mm
I might take the scales off to measure the angle of the bevels.

Re: MT35 Thin
Weird because 0.02" is roughly 0.5mm. Are your calipers ultra precise and going to the ten of thousands ?
It seems like you thinned down a lot of the blade from spine to middle height of the blade and then from the middle to the edge it is roughly the same as from the factory, is that it?
Language barrier and my tiny brain might be the reasons why I am a bit lost here
Edit : nevermind, I read your post again and it is 0.03" behind the edge, not 0.003", I thought it was totally crazy !

Re: MT35 Thin
This is an AEB-L MULE that I took down to .006" BTE:
Here it is tip-to-tip with a factory example:
Are you certain that you are picking up a .003" BTE measurement? The bevels do look quite wide for that kind of measurement, but there is no clear shot of the tip at the spine to gauge a possible visual reading.
Perhaps the confusion within this thread has made me confused? It looks like the reading is .032" at the spine near the tip.
I'm glad to hear that you are experiencing a positive result, regardless.
