I really wish I had the computer skills to make some sort of graphic, but even if the third pin was supporting the razor, the scales would still need to flex to meet at the tang of the razor...

Without a picture I don't really know how to explain it... but take a look at good scales, and you might see what I'm talking about. I'll try and scan a sketch to show what I mean.
