M. Roberts you mention getting an ice blade as well as the wear strip....where do you get the ice blade? And did it help with the protection?

I love the wovel, it is an excellent tool...HOWEVER...I think the ice attachment is a bad idea. The way my wovel is put together (bent steel handles attached at the stem by bolts) caused me to break a handle at the bolts when using the ice tool attachments...unless they have changed the way the handle attaches, like I suggested in 2009, using the attachment will eventually break one or both handles.

snorkie; i only purchased a wear strip not the ice blade, but i think the snow wolf does a cleaner job without the blade.

I just purchased the wear strip from Amazon, but I think the Snow Wolf works better without the wear strip.

Sorry, I'm not the one you mentioned that. We only got the snow wolf. I wondered about the ice blade also.

From the Manufacturer: btw as of Fall 2014 the Snap-On Wear Strip is included in the Snow Wolf standard package.

Hi, your question was mis-directed to LavenderGreen's Virginia Gemmell. We don't have an ice blade.

You can use this blade without a guard but you absolutely should were good safety glasses with side shields. Be sure you pay attention to the the orientation of the blade when you install it in the grinder. Good Grinding and Happy Trails!

I had the original roof rake these guys made, the fiberglass pole and connection work great, this new way of cutting the snow and is a definite shoulder saver. Just push and short tug and the snow fly's off on the "Slippery Slide". Tough when you have to cut through the icy layer of snow but if you do this after a fresh snow your good to go! This is a high quality product, and I have seen prices as much as 300 bucks from some stores the 150 bucks here is well worth it. I have had the old one for a number of years now and compared to the others (aluminum) the fiberglass pole, wheels, and being to shorten and lengthen at will are wicked awesome. A must have these days in SNOW England....

I got one direct from Cold Steel, but the one that came on mine was defective. I think they do (or did) sell them though.

It is possible that the blade is not all the way in. Mine had to be turned a little and carefully pushed in to the appropriate position. But once I got it on and tried to start it IT froze up on me. I could 't get it appear and ended up sending it back dirty. I DIDN't get another. I got a different brand. I hope you have a better experience than I did. Good luck.

Just ordered the 15" version of this one as well actually (the wally-mart exclusive) . I actually like the look of the non-coated blade better. They are selling it for $12 right now too, so it was a deal too good to pass up ! Plus, when it comes to being prepared, one ever says they wish they had *fewer* machetes :-)

I, too, have had a lot of trouble finding them. Last time I found them, it was in Walmart. The problem is that the replacement blades are as expensive as the whole new razor. I now just buy the whole new razor and throw the old one away, or keep it for parts.

i have a question....it SAYS one-piece, but it appears in the photo to be the blade and a line, which might be where the blade is inserted, as two-piece....can someone speak to this?....and WHY would there be water spots if it's 'stainless steel?' Thanks,folks

Same here. Looked into it and it seems they carry a limited lifetime warranty on their blades. Others indicated positive experiences with their customer service department, so I would say you're in good shape. I think the warranty is also listed in detail on the KA-BAR website.

I've used X-acto knives since my teens (I'm now 61) and I have never seen protectors on the blades by any Mfg., it is too be understood that these are for use by those who are old enough to safely use these tools which is what they are, and as are a lot of tools, they can be dangerous if not handled correctly. I would suggest that the user take their time and handle them safely.....

Hello, I just recently had the same thoughts. I skate myself and realized that most falls are small scratches that can be better protected with jeans. My daughter is 4.5 and is also learning but I plan on only using a helmet, jeans and maybe some wrist pads because I feel the wrist would most likely always be unprotected.

While they're "durable" in the sense that they're better than a cheapie parts store special, wiper blades are wear items that should be replaced regularly to ensure the clearest vision in inclement weather -- that does not mean waiting to change until the rubber is ripping from the frame... in a snowstorm... :)

Hello Collin, Thanks for prompting us to update the description on the Amazon site. We rewrote and just posted more detailed instructions on efficient, practical, and expert use of the BATCLIP holster. You may be interested to hear that many of our resident users developed individual styles of holstering and unholstering their stethoscopes. Some were quite elegant, others a bit wild. Most used a variation of the same technique and for a while new users would come down to the e.r. when I was working for a personal lesson and a "license to wear." Please have a look at our updated Amazon description and let me know what you think. If you decide to make a video (how's that to turn it around?) we'd be happy to send you another BATCLIP (or shears) for your trouble. James Li MD (the inventor)

I asked myself the same thing, figured I'd take a shot. I love them, glad I went with these and saved some money. I was able to put them on in one day, just make sure you've got good blades for the cutting wheel, there's quite a bit of metal trimming to be done. Definitely recommend these.

i don't see a wear strip, i think it's one straight heavy metal blade. the edges on mine started getting rust, so i made sure to oil it up when storing it. it's heavy, btw, but works well.

No, and it doesn't need one. This blade is already thicker than any wear strip I've ever seen. The addition of a wear strip would only add weight which I assure you, it does not need any more weight.
