Stu, you know that 2mm of steel you just shaved off, can you put it back on? :yikes:
Just winding you up Stu
Now you tell me, I have been welding all day
hehe
I'm so racked with guilt, i might have to console myself with a beer
well I have a 7.3mm RWL 34 version of my DSP ground it a while back (not as nice as Stu's grinds) tang down to 1mm but as its for me i still havent had time to put a handle on it
and all my current DSP carbon blades are cut from 7.3mm which i will either have to surface grind to the 6mm intended or taper as is
7.3mm is a comfy thumb rest tho

What Jon means Dunc is that although the thumb rest is at 7mm, immediately forward of that, the spine of the blade will drop to 5mm, from 5mm it will taper forward to the tip, behind the thumb ramp the tang will taper away to whatever, that's easywell I have a 7.3mm RWL 34 version of my DSP ground it a while back (not as nice as Stu's grinds) tang down to 1mm but as its for me i still havent had time to put a handle on it
