Longbow, what does the length of your blade measure? DM

Longbow, what does the length of your blade measure? DM

Using a 32nds. scale it measures exactly 3” from the front of the bolster to the tip and 23/32” in height at the widest point with a noticeable amount of recurve between about middle of the blade back towards the bolster.

Humm, I've not seen one with a recurve blade. Thanks, DM

The 501 is my favorite, but I do have a few 500. I do wish it followed the symmetry in the progression of the 500 series. When they are all lined up the 500 looks out of place.
Here's a few of my nicer ones. Also have a 550 that never got scales and a 510 classic.
