Measuring blade width.. Entire blade or hone line to the edge?
What is the most widely accepted method of measuring the size of a blade?
From the edge to edge at the steels widest points or from the edge to the hone line on the spine?---------------------------------------------------

Edge to edge is how I have always done it.
Otherwise I have a few really big, small wedges
It is just Whisker Whacking
Relax and Enjoy!

If your selling say on the bay,is the entire blade,top of spine to edge.Thats the american way of measuring.
Heribert Wacker contends, the true way is were the spine meets the stone to the blade edge.

I think Herbert wacker said the 'only' way the measure a razor was from below the spine to the edge. German philosophy- didn't apply to to 'old really big wedge' I favor top to bottom measurement. YMMV
