A 13/16 shoulderless grind near wedge. I chose a glaze finish for the blade faces and a crocus finish for the spine and tang. I believe the blade originally had a glazed finish. The black horn coffin shaped scales are copies of the bug eaten originals at .110 thickness as the originals were. A lead wedge and brass pins and collars were used in assembly. A couple of before pictures and in process pictures show the blade off the 400 grit belt for a bevel check on a 1K.
