I'm assuming that you're going for a screen accurate glove. I don't know why everyone makes this mistake on the blades, but they do not look like that at all. I know that the original blades were actualy knives, but they were fillet knives. Those types of knives do not have a knife look to them at all. They are thin and super sharp. One of the main reasons that they used those types of knives in the first place was because, since there was no groove or knife look to it other than the edge, they were easy to flip upside down and grind the edge off of, using the original curve of the knife. I only say this because my grandfather was a fisherman until the day he died, and I've seen so many fillet knives it's crazy, we even have a couple here. None of them have a knife look to them at all...they just have a razor sharp edge to them with a curve in the blade.While these are obviously these are not the same knives used on the glove, this site <a href=\"http://www.seamountknifeworks.com/gallery.htm\" target=\"_blank\">http://www.seamountknifeworks.com/gallery.htm</a> should give you an idea as to what I'm talking about. I'm only saying this because I love your gloves and if you're really going to call this the deluxe hero and make it as screen accurate as possible, you're using the wrong kind of blades. There are no gloves that have that kind of look on the blades. That's a spin that was put on by glove makers a long time ago. Even on the actual hero glove, you can see that the blades themselves do not have that type of look to it where they look sharp on the top or bottom. Anyway man, I just wanted to throw my opinion in there and I also wanted to say that I do love the look of the blades, but once again if you're going for accuracy, I think they take away from that look.-Joseph<!--QuoteEnd</div><!--QuoteEEndWell.. I'm going to have to disagree with you. The original glove has bevels along the top edge of the blade:<img src=\"http://i301.photobucket.com/albums/nn47/knifegloves/nfinger1a.jpg\" border=\"0\" class=\"linked-image\" />Look at the pinky blade. There's clearly a bevel very similar to the bevel on my test blade:<img src=\"http://i301.photobucket.com/albums/nn47/knifegloves/BladeBevel.jpg\" border=\"0\" class=\"linked-image\" />While my edges aren't 100% perfect at this point, it's as close as I can get it right now:<img src=\"http://i301.photobucket.com/albums/nn47/knifegloves/DSCF4191.jpg\" border=\"0\" class=\"linked-image\" /><img src=\"http://i301.photobucket.com/albums/nn47/knifegloves/DSCF4199.jpg\" border=\"0\" class=\"linked-image\" />
