Blade Holder Thumb Screw Question

New build with a MHVS1 Blade Holder (Style 17). I also got a 1/2 thumb screw.

Should I cut off the thumb screw at an appropriate length but let it press on the blade inside the blade holder, or should I drill a small hole in the blade for the thumb screw to fit inside?

Which would secure the blade better?

As it stands now, the thumb screw sticks out much more than I'd like.

I would grind it down, but beware, one good hit during a duel can snap some of them off.

Thanks. I’ll be careful.

Shorten the thumbscrew. That's what I did and it works great.
