    I'd first look at the slab and determine which side is from the outside of the tree. This side is typically the show face and it is also the side that will cup more readily than the inside face....

    Yes George, the blades are also tapered and of course the tapering is done very precisely and by hand. The forge weld of the tang is typically done with a scarf joint. Pretty impressive.
