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!! :thumb:

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
