Talk to me about taper??
Talk to me about tapers... Distal? Tang? What's the point? Is there a good reason to do this? Is it hard to do? Just seems like a lot of the top makers either taper the tang or use distal taper. I have never tried to do either, but it does not appear exceedingly difficult, if not laborious. Drilling the handle holes to match the tang may prove tricky, but I might be overthinking it too.
Just trying to learn. |
