And both are visibly smaller than the Dovo 5/8 (and I am measuring from inside of spine to edge of blade).

Don't get me wrong, I'm more than satisfied with the Polish blades, have had success in honing one so far, and gave a pretty good shave, so I'm a happy customer.

But no way are they 5/8. Unless both Dovo and TI operate with a different scale!
Mark - If I understand the measuring properly, you should measure from the top of the spine to the bottom of the edge to get 5/8 or any other size. Someone please correct me if I'm wrong.
