I totally agree!! I'm a huge fan of the lendal n12 blades. They are a
bit heavier than the pure carbon, but the added nylon make them as
though as nails.

At 1 oz. per blade extra weight, I never worried about the difference.
The N12 can handle the rocks around here much better than any composite
blade.
