Hello all.

Total length 9.85" (25 cm)

blade thickness 3 mm

I hope you like it ;)

Sorry, I was asking how you made the slot in the blade to open it with. In America we call it a nail nick.....not sure what it is called in your country.

the "nail nick" is created with a milling.
The blade is put on a cross table tilt and is milled.
