Sweet deal, I like the idea. I too noticed the width of the toe. And thought kind of the same. Ive never owned a smiley, seen the videos on honing but not sure if metal removal is the same but with added tape to increase angle and quicker removal of material or breadknife the shape to the spine

Check out Glens videos on bread knifing. They are well worth watching. If you are feeling that you are not up for the task today then set it aside for another day or send it to someone to adjust that toe.
It's not what you know, it's who you take fishing!

Don't see it beeing an issue. Its extra hollow ground. Lots of blade face to chip ratio

You could also shorten it :<0) Everything would be the same except for what 1/8" ? I like square points also.

Didn't pay attention to that end. You could put it back but what a PITA it would be. I don't know how long it is but I wouldn't call it a shorty with only that much taken off :<0)

Got a shorty. I want to keep the end of the spine. I like the angled grind

I believe your right. That was my initial plans. I might start my packwood full wedge smiley to get the feel first
Its the one on the right
