Thanks. It'll be some time before I get the chance to do another. This was made with the intention of being my personal shaver, both to test the steel and heat treat, and the design.

The first and second I had no issue with thinning in the middle, even though I rarely hollow grind anything, and even then mostly use a 14" wheel. But then this is the thinnest I've yet gone, you can easily flex the edge sideways on a thumb nail. I know what to look out for and how to correct it now though, so maybe I won't keep making the same mistakes.

I'm really liking the blade shape and size, and I like a longer tail, but the handle I think needs more curve to suit me. We'll see.

Anyway, thanks for all the help and support and wealth of knowledge.
