its not that much of a difference - 7/8 to 1 inch, its such a very small noticible measurement. I will ask about it, but I have little control over how they get created, but if it is something you cant live with, than it is what is is...I like 7/8 because most of my units are now based around that...but I'll keep investigating...if I get it confirmed that its 7/8, then those who wanted 1 inch bail out, if I get it approved to be 1 inch blade opening than the people who liked 7/8 bail out...see I already said, I cant please 100% of everyone.. LOL
these 3 models will all be run at the same time...
I think the way to keep costs down, on the Model K, it will also be investment casting, like the duke, but I now have a place that will polish the heck out of it if needed, but correct me if I am wrong, but the original looks very old, weathered and darker metal, so maybe people dont want it polished? the photo is just a cad rendering, it doesnt neccessarily mean it will be shiney like that...so we're look at the shape and I'll learn more about the final finish of it
