The bamboo core has both sides flattened, and is taken down to 1/8" thick. It is 1" wide and 13/16" in the center tapering outwards. It is 27" long.
The horn is 1" wide, tapering on one end to the handle width. They are usually 22" long, but could be shorter. At the handle end, they are 3/16" thick, they taper so that by the end of the horn, they are around 1/16" thick.

Is 27" with the splice ??.
How long is the V splice cutted ?
How long are the Siyahs with the V-Cut ??

27" is overall, since it has the female part of the splice, that doesn't affect how long it is.
The V splice is 2-3" long, it isn't measured but just 'eyeballed'
The siyahs are around 14.5" or shorter with the splice.
The siyah thickness:
At the recurve, it is .5"
Then it tapers after the recurve to .125" at the splice with the core.
