Top Edge Thickness?

I am making a loveless style fighter. I am using 1/4" ATS 34. I know when I finish the cutting edge should be .020-.030 thick but how thick should the top edge be back at the plunge cut? I was thinking around .070 and taper down to the clip. Maybe there is a kind of rule here like 1/3 the bar stock thickness?
