They should pivot freely. When you start it up they should swing out. When you hit your first wall you will be glad they fold back in like that. Cut the power as soon as you hit something and the blades will survive no problem.

There is a small metal piece that will lock the blade to stay open, you have to move it over and close the blade at the same time. This piece is where the blade is when it is closed. Hard to explain, but it's a small ridged piece.

These blades are solid and I think it'll take months if not years for any dulling effect. By then, I'd buy I new one. Good luck, Tony.

The knives are plain (straight) blades. They are not grooved (serrated). The blades are shorter than you would expect however. After buying this set, I would suggest getting one of the more expensive Chicago sets.

Do you mean the razor BLADE is curved in the razor head? If so it should not be; it should lay flat. Check to make sure the blade is installed correctly.

Perhaps you are thinking the bearings should not rotate. The position of the bearings are locked in place to guide the blade however the bearings themselves DO rotate when the blade is moving.

Check the plane sole for flatness. I bet there is a high spot on the sole behind the blade. If there is, it needs to be ground, filed or sanded off

The blades are thicker than the pair that we had before them. One of those blades on the previous pair broke though which is why they had to be replaced. So to answer the question completely we would have to say that we like the old pair better but those broke. These will probably last.

The blades do not lock. When you carve smaller slivers are removed so the blade has less stress to close. Remember to use hand or thumb protection when pulling the blade toward yourself.

The blades slide on to the handle. The price is very good and they are made in the USA.

The packaging may have changed. The Blades I am using appear exactly as the picture. They where purchased early in 2014. I would suggest contacting the manufacture http://www.personna.com/ Send them a picture of what you have received. They will be able to identify if it is there product. Sincerely, TG

There is no lock on the blade height. I haven't noticed any movement up or down once the blade height is set.

Yea they are screw in. I never used the ones I bought. Dont trust the spider clips to hold the blades in place. Lotta guys like em but I dont want to have to worry about blades flopping loose when a buck is getting close.

They are not reversible, what are you using for shaving gel? I have had no issues with the blades. I highly recommend using the razor in a warm shower so that the hair folicles loosen up.

I actually had the same problems and I used them on myself. I made the huge mistake of "zero gapping" the blades I think straight out of the box they are crisp enough. And the problem with this is since the screws are so small they adjusted their self during cutting and often times I would leave scratches and marks. To combat this problem I ordered the t-wide blade for it for the blade adjustment screws are a little bit larger and the blades stay in line and finally I just left at factory without zeroing the blade . I did this and I haven't cut my self since I hope this helps

I hope they do I have not had to change blades yet. When I got them I just put them aside thinking they was the right size. Now I will check to see if they are the right size.

I think you got a bad one....mine were beautiful and I have been complimented on them. Only complaint is it takes a while to figure out how to set the knife on he plate without it sliding out. Best
