Hi guys,

Anyone else have these blades?

There's a visible seam in the leading edge in mine. Like two halves glued together. Would that be normal for these types of blades? I'm new to these things... never seen one before like this.

can really tell from the photo, and Ive not looked at mine (lazy I know, but they are all the way upstairs...) but Id guess its moulding flash, from where the 2 mould halves join.

That would be my guess as well. I can't see where two pieces would be necessary.
Wish I'd ordered some when I first saw them...
....back to the shopping cart!!

Mine are like that too. It's normal. All composite blades are like that. All that I have seen anyway. I have CY Radix, SWE, Sab, Align and they all have the seam.
