good day

Since this knife was first posted for discussion I have looked at photos and drawings of a great number of knives.

I have only seen one knife that shares some of this knife's features, and that is a French knife designed to (probably) cut candy.

May I ask:-

1)--- how thick is the ricasso?

2)--- how thick is the raised section of the back?

3)--- what is the form of the edge of raised section of the back --- is it flat, or rounded or sharpened?

4)--- what is the cutting edge geometry, ie, the angle of grind?

5)--- geometry again:- what is the nature of the distal taper, ie, the taper from ricasso to point

Thank you.
