I do not know the exact root cause for the weight difference, but I would claim that differences in the touch point lengths might be one reason. Probably there are other reasons too. 2 grams difference sounds very very small, but when you see that it means weight of three nuts, at least I started to wonder where this all material is missing. Based on the rumors JW has invested to new production equipment's. If so, they seems to still grind profiles hand held, which cause inconsistent to the tough point lengths. Also chrome removal is still something what I would hope to be different. Alternatively these blades were some old stock items.
@@Annisk8s I have the old pair ca lite and recently received a new pair. I can compare them later. I noticed the weld has improved. IMO the SS blade with chassis seems to have better QC consistency. I haven’t mastered sharpening SS blades.
Very interesting, particularly the difference in mass and in touch point. The angled edges from the chrome relief grinding are terrible.
