here are a few quick sketches with thumb notch/thumb ramp and spine/tip variations. far right is 9/8 with a traditional domed or rounded spine and a thumb ramp under tang (my preference). middle is 9/8 spanish point with flat sided spine and again with a thumb ramp. far left is a 9/8 with a slant edge (heel is closer to 8/8) beveled spine, more conventional thumb notch instead of the ramp and the tip is similar to a cyma curve vs spanish notch. Ill likely make up all three versions as prototypes for myself to test in a few weeks, opinions welcome!

Very nice find

The one on the left completes me...beautiful! I hereby volunteer to be the tester of that particular prototype, you may not get it back however, would compensate though with hugs and PayPal...

edited to add: yes, and take out the barber's notch for a straight edge and spike point and I'll throw in an extra hug.

Gorgeous ideas, and works.
I'd like prototype 4 please. That the one with the tang on the far left and blade profile on the far right. Must be on the next page. Will give feedback, hugs (outsourced of course), paypal, and maybe I'll throw in some Maas.. Just to sweeten the pot..
Cheers.

with a couple other shots of different angles of that blade i could do just about an exact copy. vals scales are his unique signature though, maybe i could send him a w&b duplicate sometime for him to scale.......hmmmmmmmm im piquing my own interest now

Here's another shot of it, hope this helps:

These both look great my friend.
Your another maker who's making my RAD a real problem.
