Pattern DB - Curve Size?

[Garpenlov 0]

I was looking around for a new stick and decided to check out the pattern db for the first time. What a great tool!

However, I couldn't figure out what the Curve Size measures. Also, if it's not too complicated, could someone explain how I could recreate (recheck) the measurement at home or at my LHS.

Curve size measures the depth pf the curve. The topic about blade key had an explanation. My guess would be to put the blade on graph paper from and draw a vertical line down the graph paper where the curve starts and draw a horizontal line from the toe so you get a triangle like shape. Then take a ruler and measure it.

Or take a cm ruler and measure from the heel to toe?

Thanks for the explanation but I'm still a bit confused.

For example, CCM's Recchi and Bonk patterns are both rated Moderate Depth, however Recchi is 3/4" curve size and Bonk is 1/2" curve size. How is this possible? or did I interpret something incorrectly?

Thanks for your patience.

Project, no because that would not be the depth. According to Reaper the 12mm or 9mm etc associated with a pattern is its depth.

Oh, I get it. Nevermind then.
