    It is a tinny decimal point but only on the verts like a "site check - ref" dimension on a site drawing

    Tiny decimal points make a big difference, imagine a building with ceiling heights of 24 cm

    84mm seems extremely long for a razor edge. You could almost cut your ear shaving your chin.

    I actually just keep a few old razors in the shop and use them as reference when making razors, no since complicating things with formula's.

    I would apply the rule of thirds to the 56mm tang and then place the pivot 18.5mm in from where the blade and the tang meet.

    I finished school in 1967, and it was the happiest day of my life!
