Apologies for not replying earlier -we moved house recently. However, someone already answered the question about wedge thickness - it must be the same as the width of the blade where you want it to rest on the scales. As such, it doesn't matter what the type of grind is - near wedge or full hollow - you still need to the scales to perform a stop on how far the blade fits in. The width of the wedge or spacer dictates that.
