The new 6/8 is also shoulder less with a thumb notch and jimps. Just love the clean lines of the new blade. I see the beginnings of a preference forming towards heavier 6/8 blades of this style. Can't wait to get an old Reynolds 6/8 1/4 hollow honed up for use because of this. Might have to start looking for an old Le Grelot 1/4 hollow too.

Your shoulderless 6/8 with the notch and jimps sounds like my ideal blade. I'd forgotten to mention how much I like the shoulderless blades, too. They're a tiny bit easier to strop and hone, without the stabilizers.
