Default Edge quality poor or blems?

Received a set of Edge CF 86mm tail blades from GrandRC. Are these blems? Paid $26.
Were not listed as blems, but my real question is are they safe to use?
Never had an issue with Edge like this before.

yes those are safe to use since it is more of a cosmetic flaw rather than structural flaw. i also had my fair share of edge blades having cosmetic flaw but were not labeled as b-surfaced and all had worked no problems. i guess quality control missed a few

Considering Edge is now out of business your only avenue is to talk to the retailer to get your money back .... or to be honest just fly with them. You won't notice that once they get spinning

Thanks for the input. I'm fine with the flaws, just wanted to hear opinions on the structural integrity.

Appreciated.

Blemishes like that are in the surface coat, they are safe to fly.
