Can they patent a hexagonal shape? If a shape can be patented then we can patent the oval shape of the Viscaria and start suing all the TT blade manufacturers. We'd made a fortune.Quote:

Yeah. I don't see how a patent like that could stand. It would have to have more to it, like the shape combined with some aspect of the construction. It will be interesting to see if the patent actually gets awarded and what specifically it covers.Quote:

Beautiful work again !
This one is based on a Zetro Quad, however, I used Aramid instead of Zylon since I don't work with this fiber. It's a fast blade with a soft feeling. The handle is also chunky with 24mm instead of the usual 23mm.

Carbon feel without carbon. Well, not quite, but the very hard Ebony second layer makes this blade feel as crispy as bacon.

Perfect one, I should say. The composition is already very conventional - simple and effective. The Limba top ply is beautifully chosen for its texture. The handle texture is so lovely, that I need to ask, how much this costs. (Is it 'basic', 'complex' or 'very complex' ?)Quote:

Just in time for Christmas something arrived on my doorstep. I've named it Hammaren (first of its name) and have not played with it yet, us being in lockdown.
