Is the paddle supposed to come with a sort of "crease" starting from the top of the blade down the middle? Like it was pinched with pli

The face of the paddle is flat on both sides (no crease). Hope that helps you out.

Mine came with the paddle only. It feels very secure due to the plastic "teeth" on the paddle that really grip your waist band tightly. However, I did not find the paddle to be comfortable or easy to adjust. I went to the Blackhawk website and was able to order the belt loop attachment for a few bucks. It works perfect - just don't know why they don't include it in the first place.

I'm seeing the same thing so it appears to be normal behavior. Here's that area from my knife, 2 months after moderate use: http://i.imgur.com/6YeplWF.jpgIt looks worse than it is; if you run a point across the "gouge" it really isn't that deep.

We've used our machine a lot with no problems. The paddle seems durable enough to me.

Mine had 2 paddles, each came in three parts. Make sure you really tighten them before use.

No this is not normal. Mine works just fine and easy. About the blade release, I found that the button on the right side of the knife releases the left blade and the button on the left side releases the right blade. I think the knife is great and am impresssed with the quality.

Yes, it came with a paddle. If you are buying this for Christmas beware- ours came wrapped in see through plastic. I was in perfect condition but could ruin a surprise!

Yes, that happens sometimes, mine came with a special tool to remove the paddle. You can remove the paddle before the bread starts baking if you prefer.

Press the little thing on the back center of the handle and push the blade in. It's the little indent, looks kinda like a bite was taken out of it there.

Except for the Knife, the handles have a slight flip or curve upward at the very end (as apposed to being flat). The curvature elsewhere is normal and not exaggerated in any way.

thanks for your reply- i too notice the large mass on one paddle and little or nothing on the other one. i fail to see how two paddles matter if it all ends up on one paddle- is it really beneficial or just a marketing gimmick? i still love the machine, i'm just at a loss as to what the two paddles do.

It does break down into two pieces. One side of the paddle tube slides into the other side and there is a little lever-clasp that closes to secure the two pieces together. There is a little screw on the clasp to tighten the grip when the clasp closes. I tightened mine a little when I recieved my paddle. Overall, I am very happy with the paddle.

Not sure if this is the answer, but, I was experiencing a similar problem that eventually ended up with the shaft that holds the paddle coming apart from the pan. I had to buy a whole new pan assembly since there is no way to repair it. The cost, including shipping, was under $30. My bread is back to normal. If you decide to go this route, save the paddle. It does not come with the pan.

Probably not normal. The dhs I received looked fake. It was poorly glued together and was split from the handle all the way up. I've been playing for many years. Kept buying paddles on sale. But the best one I ever bought was Killersspin 800. Even if you don't get the super expensive ones you may find killerspin is excellent quality and well worth the money.

Yes. Great paddle. The rubber on both sides are super sticky. The carbon layer is stiff and makes paddle lighter than my older paddle. Good for spin, control and power.

Thomas-- As a matter of fact, I recall noticing the same thing. So much so that, thinking it was a temporary laminate of some kind, I proceeded to try and peel it off! I'll be sure to give that paddle to my opponent.

I don't have that problem. I suspect that the blade cover (housing) is not properly inserted into machine. The gap between blade and blade cover is pretty small such that only minimal debris is collected. That has been my experience.
