​@Annisk8s which ypu will recommend and which one is better currently please?😊

[@issacasimov]

I noticed the newer blade has more QC problems. Also the older gold seal you have uses harder mix metal ( more blue ) .

[@Annisk8s]

I agree that John Wilson quality has gone down over the years. It´s a pity when they are so popular. May I ask if your opinion related to harder metal is based on visual judgement (color), measurements or something else?
