Thanks Stuart, it looks wider than it is.@Alexj, 35mm before the spine is finished and the edge whet, so 34.5mm finished would be a safe bet

When it comes to blade markings, I have tried them all, struck mark, etching, you name it.
Laser was a game changer, deep, precise, clear, and adaptable.

It was acid etch and stamps in the 70's, that is a vast improvement.
I hated that phase, fuzzy edges and dodgy stencils
Struck marks have a place, when done right, that is, you see too many half-struck and uneven. I was never fully happy with the stress and distortion they can introduce, either. But there was a time when that was all that was about.
Add in serial numbers and adaptable steel grade too, perfect.
All the big stuff had Date Job number stamps, there was the 240v engraver of which I was banned from using as it turned out like doctors writing so I was told. Stamping letters/numbers not bad, Pantograph labels v good (just had to get the spelling double checked lol)I hated that phase, fuzzy edges and dodgy stencils

Still in common usage and perfect for certain jobs, my father-in-law makes struck marks, makes loads for industry, dates, job numbers, etc.All the big stuff had Date Job number stamps, there was the 240v engraver of which I was banned from using as it turned out like doctors writing so I was told.
