I can here it now!

The dog ate them.

My wife sat on them.

It was cold and I needed to build a fire.

Just tell the truth, what'd you hit?

Most of the UK shops should be able to get them over to you quickly.

They've got a couple of sets of woodies and some carbon blades at Skyline

If you wnat some good stable blades that look real cool, get the Gensmantel alu ones. They are anodised blue and look very, very cool. They are very light and stable too.
I haven't tested them personally, just read a report on them.

My LHS sells them for 50 Euro

Bert : I may be completely wrong here, but I'm sure I read somewhere that metal blades are illegal (or banned by the BMFA, or just bad ju-ju or something) in the UK.

Well, they are available in Belgium and are produced in Germany.
I guess that different rules apply.

When I get rid of my training gear I'm going to treat myself to those alu ones. I'll let you drool over the pics I'll post then.

I thought in the US they made a difference between solid and composite blades but not absolutely sure. IMHO a composite blade with a thin alu skin is not more dangerous than a carbon blade but I'm not prepared to try it .
