Hello.
I'm in the market for a new SZLC blade, stepping down from Jun Mizutani. My friend adviced me to try Fan Zhendong Super ZLC blade, so I've been searching, and one guy, who claims that he imports genuine Japanese blades, reached out to me with an offer. I've always wanted to try Japanese (Not TBE) blades since I've heard a lot of rumors about the quality of those blades being better and all, so I decided to look into his offer.
Blade is brand new, with packaging and all, serial number matches the box one, and price is right - it's a bit cheaper than the price I paid for my Mizutani back in the day.
However, I'm worried about a couple of things, which I will highlight in the attached photos (J.T.T.A.A. imprint seems somewhat fishy to me, and the first A is almost overlapping the dot before it. Also, some sort of fibre is visible near the silver logo). Am I getting paranoid, or those are genuine causes for concern?
Thank you in advance!
