I can understand where you are coming from Dave, thanks!
Grinding really is a lot of back breaking work! haha
To your tip, which method are you talking about, here is a diagram. I would be unable to increase width of the spine, though I am sure you are talking about method A. as it provides support for the shoulders.
I am not sure if I would try changing that. I had thought about that, and it seems like a good idea, though looking at some originals, they are without and seem to have survived very well through their usages.
I also thought that the hilt could have a better flat fit with a flat angular shoulder.
