blades

A blade is the portion of a tool, weapon, or machine with an edge that is designed to puncture, chop, slice or scrape surfaces or materials. Blades are typically made from materials that are harder than those they are to be used on. Historically, humans have made blades from flaking stones such as flint or obsidian, and from various metal such as copper, bronze and iron. Modern blades are often made of steel or ceramic. Blades are one of humanity's oldest tools, and continue to be used for combat, food preparation, and other purposes.
Blades work by concentrating force on the cutting edge. Certain blades, such as those used on bread knives or saws, are serrated, further concentrating force on the point of each tooth.

    Marcrist Blades

    Nearly due a new wetsaw blade for the wee Plasplugs. Bought a Sankyo blade last time and it turned it into twice the wetsaw from the standard blade. Is the Marcrist worth the extra £20 over the Sankyo, and will it last any longer than the Sankyo does?
