Hello Richard,
Very good observation!
I too would have liked to see the blade sit a bit deeper. But sticking with the original shape had I used a wider wedge to let the blade settle a bit deeper would have let the heel of the blade protrude below the scale.
In this case, keeping the original profile, I'd rather have a blade sit a little proud than have the blade stick out of the bottom of the scales.

Odd,
But there is usually a rhyme to my reason.
