It's All Relative


Here is a chart which can help you compare blade sizes and advertised weights.   These measurements came from an imperfect- but relatively accurate (I'd say within 3%) measuring system of actually counting the square inches of each profile.  So count the data as approximate.  I've also used manufacturers data wherever possible .

I'll add information as I get it.  As you can see my designs are 10% or more smaller than market standards at this point  and a trace heavier than other's advertised weights.  But mine feature the strength of wood and superior swing weight.   This just so you can get some perspective on the relative sizes.
