TT,

The resulting shape isn't symmetrical, with the "finger" extending from the middle of the blade, but rather from one edge. Grind a 40-ish degree angle from one side almost to the other to make a near-point, then round the tip a little and relieve the last 5/8" or so with a concave curve.
Um... I'll just say DUHHH now, LOL! :D

Sometimes I wonder how I manage to tie my own shoes in the morning. :?
Happy Smoking,

LOL! You kill me Trever!

I like the saw too. Although I'm never concerned about time, it seems to be pretty quick.
