Description
:
Blade length=11.8 cm. Maximum blade width=3.2 Blade thickness=0.6 cm. Inner length (of inside edge)=9.5 cm. Chord length of inside edge=8.5 cm. Inner radius (curvature of inside edge)=5 cm. Outer length (length of outside edge)=14.5 cm
Comments
:
Blade is pointed at one end and squared off at the other, which is probably broken off. All dimensions are coded as if this is the entire original blade. Width at squared end 3.2 cm, tapering evenly to the point. An imaginary line midway between inside and outside edges curves through 90 degrees from squared end to the point.
