Like Ron I've been toying with the idea of making hand saws. I really like Disston's D-8 saws, particularly in the 20-24 inch range toothed at 10-12 ppi. I've never done double tapers before but I just got some 0.035" 1095 delivered and thought I'd give it a go.
Here are the results.
Plate before.

I modeled this on a 22" D8 12 ppi original that I really like.
Here are the results of the taper grinding.

It approximates the dimensions of the original, which as a 0.032" plate. Nonetheless I think I remove a couple of thousandths more down the center-line of the plate.
Cheers,
Rob
