Radius tang on a slipjoint is the curved section that contacts the spring when pivoted around the pin. As opposed to halfstops that do not have a curved section. These are my opinions, feel free to disagree.

I gottcha I call that a "cam tang" Same thing different terminology I doubt Bret would make one , as long as I've known him,to the best of my knowledge he has not built one. I did see one time,from him,a folding shaving type,straight razor. Man it was cool. Website : New website coming soon thanks for your patience
