    I know that size sometimes matters but......

    Not sure trying to navigate 14/8 of steel (and matching scales) around your face sounds enjoyable. That being said, I would be interested how it comes out.

    You will need a fairly thick blank to start with, >10mm thick, to get your bevel angle.

    Good luck.
