Thread: stock thickness

I have a couple of German razors that are in the 6/8 range. the bigger one is more like 9/16. They have a spine thickness of around .175-.180 for the smaller one and .200 at the thickest part on the larger one. In the experience of the makers on here, are those good stock sizes for making modern custom 6/8 blades? I ask because I talked with the US sales guy from Voestalpine Precision Strip, formerly Bohler-Uddeholm Strip, yesterday and he told me that they will be shipping AEB-L in .175 and .198-.200 to one of the knife making suppliers in January. Could be fun.
