I saw these blades once before. This design makes perfect sense and the only reason I can see that prevented it's adoption is that they could only sell half as many blades.
:shocked003 Thanks for posting that, I have never seen one ot those! You probably hit the nail on the head, about only selling half as many blades leading to their demise.
Thanks for sharing that pic!I have never seen one of that blades.Are they thick as the regular SE blade?
I know they were made for the Micromatics, I wonder if that is why they have a bad reputation now. People use a regular s/e with the spine on them in the MM, I wonder if the spine kicks up the back of the blade and changes the blade angle enough to make them trickier to use and hence their bad rep?
I found a unused Gem MM Clog Pruf that had the reversible SE blade in it. Here's a pic: The link to teh whole thread: http://www.theshaveden.com/forum/showthread.php?t=13316
That could make alot of cents. I guess this could be confirmed by some using some new preserved blades like these and see if there is a difference. Also Teiste's thought of them being thinner having an effect as well.
Hi to you all, I found some original GEM blades at ebay. Don't you think that so old blades will be unavoidably rusted? Aren't our day's blades better manufactured? Any reversible blade out there? Regards.
