I cut out a design for a short machete and I need some opinions on the design.

Pictures: https://imgur.com/a/yDv9Z

Specs:

Steel: 15n20

Over all length: 14.5"

Blade length:10"

Handle length: 4.5"

Blade width: 1.5"

Grip width: 1"

Thickness: 1/16"

What is a good hardness to shoot for during the HT? I was thinking somewhere around 56-57 to get a good balence. Do you think 58 would be pushing it for a machete this thin?

Thanks for helping,
Kevin
