Thread: How wide the rear of a wedge should be?

Thanks all for the help in figuring out the differances and for some measurments to shoot for.

Okay one more "Rule of Thumb"

Put the scales on the razor at the tang, they will follow the Angle of the Tang", they have to, look at that angle, measure it if you must, but honestly it only has to be close...

See how far apart the wedge end of the razor scales are when following the Tang angle ???? Reverse it and make it happen for the wedge side this is the easiest and fastest way to understand that the Wedge angle needs to match the Tang angle...

I will try and get you some pics when I take my lazy butt out the the shop
