What puzzles me is how much to taper the tang ? right now the steel from spine all the way down is 1/4 inch. by the way, the razor I "just" hollowed I am patterning after this one . I saw it on srp and thought , wow , love it . hopefully I don't step on toes . its pretty as all and I wanted one to look similar. that being said. taper question still stands
