Size:  25.6 KB you can see how the scale is spread much more on the tang side compared to the wedge.

    The tang on the Boker has a different tang angle too combined with the thickness of the scales and the thickness of the tang are creating a condition that isn't ever going to allow flex.. Basically it won't work..
    You either need to find a vintage set that is off a near razor or build a custom set to that razor..

    Is that a 5/8 razor ????

    Yes it is 5/8. It shaves great. How old is it?

    You need a thicker wedge.
