I can't describe my blade diameter because I use a different profile that what you'll get from any maker. Because my blade was badly damaged and I could not find anyone who was willing to fix it (before my internet life), I decided to do everything by hand.
I started with God-Knows-What diameter blade: ground a hollow into the bevel and just got rid of the gashes using my Mitutoyo radius-gage to get the best curve and symmetry I could. The result is an oblong shape over a double-bevel that gives me a broad center of 0.57mm and sides (on the ears) of 0.40mm
I really recommend no one else ever do this unless you are really poor or really masochistic! It is an adventure in learning, but that's all. Gouger makers have special tools that will do a much better job.
Needless to say, the resulting gouge over the years is nowhere near the quality you'd expect from a vendor: I still managed to make reeds that my teacher, some performance majors at the master's level and young professionals envied.
We can talk ad-nauseam about a perfect circle or one oval being better than another, but I think I like the advice of someone, somewhere up-there in the thread: find something that does a decent job and leave it at that. Use binding, shaping and scraping to compensate for what we might THINK is a gouging issue.... we could well be wrong!
