Yes, that is where I'd expect a crack to be on a straight razor, the thinnest part of the blade. On the thick parts of a straight razor, spine/tang, is where you'd see "cold shuts" that appear to be cracks at first glance.

In this thread https://sharprazorpalace.com/custom-...ey-boston.html in the last photo you can clearly see the cold shut on the tang where the OP said it was in his narrative. At first glance you'd think it was a crack unless you knew better. The OP in this case is a highly regarded restorer and he knew from experience what it was. I can't recall ever seeing a cracked spine or tang but they may exist my experience being limited to not a large number of straight razors.
