I'm with Josh - I usually need a few shots at the wedge before the blade is centering perfectly, that's why I use the adjustable pins when I'm making scales. I can throw it together and get a sense of what it'll look like, then make adjustments as necessary without the hassle of peening a razor 3 or 4 times before getting it right.
