That's awesome brother! I know the hardest thing for me was getting used to the 2x72, just keep at it and don't get discouraged...

Yeah I've made thinner scales and it definitely helps he pocket book because then I can get more book matched pairs by thinningnit out a bit but I've always liked to make them thicker... of course it's customers choice so i let the customer pick...

One other small thing to address is the wedge thickness. If the razor just drops into the scales without flexing them you will have loosening pivots as a result.

[QUOTE=Dafonz6987;1677440]The blade isn't very hollow, I know there isn't really an actual standard on how to grade the hollow of a blade if I had to call it anything I would say 1/4 if not wedge?]

These might help with the standard shapes.

Here is the Henckels Chart:

And, the SRP Shapes, more commonly used:

Enjoy.
