I think you are missing the point.

From your statements and this is one: "THICK blades work against efficiency,..that's a no brainer" . Your stated position is that a thinner blade "cuts better" than a thicker blade, and you knew that PRIOR to purchasing the 28. Apparently it isn't a no brainer because you purchased the 28 irrespective of your expansive knowledge of knife blade geometry or when you discovered Mora or any other knife suitable for your purposes.

Then you attack RMK for not making the 28 to your standards.

I still don't understand what your problem with RMK is. If you don't like their products or how they run their business, don't buy them. Pretty simple concept really, kinda like changing the channel if you don't like the program.
