I seemed to see this quoted often that Kai blades are slightly wider than the specification. Is this actually the case, or is it something of an urban myth? Or, where there was a production irregularity and someone measured an aberration? I no longer have access to my micrometers/calipers, or I'd just measure a few random samples myself.
I really like Kai blades (no printing and no wax!), and I certainly thought I was getting a tad more blade feel in my Karve with the SB-B plate. As a matter of fact, I prefer the SB-B plate with a Kai blade over the SB-C plate with another brand. So, smaller blade gap, but slightly more blade exposure. However, with all the other variables, was it just wishful thinking? The preference for a more esoteric setup?? Some sort of confirmation bias???
The scientist in me wants to know...
