I see "decent blades" are mentioned above - but I don't think we have a choice on trads do we? There only seems to be one type of blade available. Someone mentioned scratching by the metal strip - isn't that what the little black plastic end caps are for? I've lost some of mine and must order replacements. I notice that my blades now 6 years old have taken a "set" so that the blade is now permanently angled in one direction when at rest, yet they do still flip over in motion and don't judder (usually) but I think I'd better replace them soon.
