Another KM for display.
In retrospect I might have made the rabbet a little more stout. I was concerned that it would interfere with screw. It locks well so I guess it doesn’t matter.
The slight twist: there is a brass threaded insert pressed in below the end surface (see third pic). This permits the screw head to sink level with the end surface, or be unscrewed to match the blade thickness.
Thanks go out to those of you in the past that contributed!
Hope you like it.
Alll reviews welcome.

I like the idea of having the screw head below the end surface. The machine thread allows finer adjustment too. Good job!

I wonder if vibration would loosen the machine screw since its in a brass insert, maybe a Nylock nut would work.

What fun.
I like it. The smaller the thread, the better it would adjust. It also seems like the less it should untwist itself (although I don’t know). You could always mugger up the threads a bit to make it harder to turn.
You should tag this with Kerfmaker, and join the rest of the crowd.
