Pic request (Spin - Ladybug 3)

#1

Post by dani »

Could anyone show me a comparison pic with the Spin next to the Ladybug 3?

Is the edge of the Spin perfectly straight? It seems a bit recurve in some photos... :confused:

These were taken a few minutes ago, the one's a bit blurry, but still shows the sizes pretty well.

If anything, its a bit convex, definitely not concave at all, just has the slightest bit of belly.

Shouldn't the Spin have a straight edge though? :confused:

Truth is, unlike Kiwis, I only have one Spin, and that only because nobody wanted it the last time I put it up for adoption. :rolleyes: :D So I can't really say with any certainty that the edge should, or should not, be straight. I can only show the way mine looks. Since Slvgx says his looks the same, I'll assume it's normal. On the other hand, I can tell you that if I received a Kiwi that looked like that, I'd send it back.

I really like the Wharncliffe blade of the Kiwi, the Spin seems to have a more "rounded" tip and I don't like the slightly convex edge (I noted that in other photos)...

So I think I'll buy the Ladybug 3 SS... or perhaps the Cricket (a bit large...).
