Width of a spatha blade
#13
if you got 2 straight edges it should be okay Smile 

i did a calculation-way and that comes to the same result: the blade has a taper in width of approx. 2mm / 63mm of length, assuming that there is no part lost. this matches quite well with the ~ 42mm at the breaking point

blade length 454 + 265 = 719mm - ~40mm (point) = 680mm length of the straight part of the edges

total taper is 58 - 37 = 21mm

680mm / 21mm = 1mm taper in width / 32,5mm length
