I went back to a SE today. I found a blade from my first vender. While still had some nicks I was not as tore up as with a new blade from my 2nd vender. Leading me to believe there may actually be something to the entire "not the same blade" conspiracy that I have in my head
Regardless because of the nicks, the score suffers those are the rules. Some irritation as well.
