The majority I get done are 19mm (3/4") by 2.5mm thick. They cost less than the 32mm 1+1/4" knives and I find that they don't get bent out of shape so easily as the taller ones. Sometimes I have to use the taller ones where there is a lot of thickness to get over but thankfully that is rare. Another reason I like the 19mm ones is they fit in the draws I made that you can see next to the clicker presses. One good thing of late is that a lot of the parts can be cut out on my laser and only if the product get to repetitious do I get the knives made. One good thing about the laser there is NO error in the cutting size at all. This the little diode laser I built which has cut my knife making costs by at least 1/2 This is an example of how the laser can do cutting accurately and better than what most knife /die makers could dream of making.
