Not six sixteenths of an inch if anyone is curious.
It seems to be much closer to 7/8 than 15/16 at the widest part of the blade. Then it occurred to that the top of the spine is curved. The center of the top of the spine is below an imaginary line drawn from the toe of the spine to the heel of the spine. Then it ocurred to me that a measurement from this imaginary line down to the widest part of the blade (which would be at the center of the blade edge) would give me the adjusted width (the "advertised width").
Hence the difference between the actual width from the top of the spine to the blade edge at the widest part of the blade and the "advertised width" of 15/16.
So, how close am I to solving this problem? I have no idea. Talk to me..........:beer2:.
