Nigel!
maybe the manufacturers got it wrong!...they used glass epoxy/ carbon fibre in the latest blade desing when all they needed was balsa......i made a balsa wood bridge in science once and it took 50 lbs to break it!!!...maybe i should have patend it!!!
your thread was quite funny!
....you look at a blade thats 3 inches shorter than the other and think hmmmm...maybe theres something wrong here...oh F@#k it ill match the pair right now with my Leatherman tool knife!!
you have got to be kidding....im baffled!
