I completely agree that the back cut was one of the practical features of the sharpened back edge, and it seems these widened points were usually sharpened. The dynamics of extra weight does sound logical as well. Thank you very much for the excellent observations and nicely presented data here, and especially for adding the references. All best regards, Jim
