What is the edge thickness on the new 08 spleene boards? They say they are thinner than 07.

They are just as thin as the 07's tip-edges had been - just all the way around the board.
Makes the boards cut through chop much better.
I've tested the '08 RIP34 against my '07 RIP34.
The difference is amazing!!
Take care!

Rainer
I made a change this year in the boards I make and I went to 1-2mm rails and compared to 5mm and I find the performance in chop much better also.
What is the actual measurement at the edges of the new one? I am a little concerned about being too sharp from a safety perspective.
Thanks
