Gasport is an official Butterfly agent . At least they should show some interest, regardless of the fact that you are the second owner.
If they can see the blade or top quality photos of it they should be able to pass it on to the manufacturer for an opinion.
My experience with Japanese manufacturers and sellers is that they are of highest integrity and go out of their way
to fix a problem when one arises. It is a matter of honor.
From the bad quality photos you gave us, I do not think anybody here will be able to make any decisions.
As far as the question re. original or not is concerned, I was told by a very kind Butterfly rep from the usa that when the numbers and letters on the blade correspond with the ones on the box we can safely assume we have bought an original.
Do you think the blade could be fixed by cleverly injecting some epoxy ? I remember years ago rescuing a butterfly blade
that way and it played well for many years
thanks for quality response, it is really better than any Gasport/Butterfly answer
My friend who makes handmade blades something like SDC, better than SDC, that' s a joke.
He said it is broken inside, the pink-brown place in one of my bad quality photography show continuation of inside breaking and the empty hole is like place when the pressure force has an outlet and it should goes on reclamation because it wouldn't be broken without my interference without any scars, hits or proofs, the wood on the handle/wings should be damaged if I did something and the wood should break across.
The wood is broken in the parallel way
I was thinking to add woody spackling paste, add laquer it will be softer and thicker at the place of hole but I don't know...it is 5,4mm blade so if I will swing hard, the handle will stay on my hands and someone will be hurt. If it will be sponsored player by Butterfly, maaaan Masvidal flying knee on top of that will be like a dream, that' s a joke. It will be good if no one will be hurt and blade will be like a new, I can't guarantee if everything will be fine but I feel that structure of blade goes in uncertain ways. The flex is too big...
