Didn't know about the recall and have not been notified. We use it every day and have had no issues. I will check the blade dates tonight to make sure.

I checked this out prior to my purchase as well and found they are not selling any bad blade units.

i hear they all ship with plain blades since last year. A few people have put that in the reviews that it is in fact a plain blade . SOG stopped shipping then in 2012. Its a great knife . I also like the ZT 170 there are some deals out there for 100 shipped. check it out.

I don't know, I already bought it and it says "Shipping Soon" in my order details....Edit: Got mine on September 16th and it is a fantastic machine.

There is no model number that I can find on the knife blade, handle, or purchase order.

It is if the manufacture date is after July 23, 2013. I just ordered mine and it should arrive in a few days. I'm not expecting it to be a newer model, but we'll see. I'll update my comment when I find out.

I received standard packaging that can be found at Target. I had an issue with blade sharpness but they are standard blades. Maybe a catch all legal notice. Blades meant for Mexico or Canada. The blade mount use to be orange but now their blue.

I am an owner, not a merchant. I have the first version which is green and the latest model is blue. I've examined the blue version and cannot find a significant difference between the two, other than cosmetic. I've been using mine a few years and it works great, assuming it is set up correctly with a good blade. The current price shown in the Amazon add is about $100 more than I paid but, that was a few years ago and I didn't get free shipping so, you might want to look at all costs involved.

Not sure if this is a 2nd generation, by that I assume you mean there was a previous model. I do know it is a fantastic knife .I collect Knives ,Not the extrem High end but avarage mans knife. Being very disappointed the past few years where Knife companys only made knives in the USA ,like Buck and Gerber,Kershaw now have some made in China. You won't be disappointed ,Simple wood handle, good steel ,very nicly ground ,nice desine ,comes sharp.

Not sure. I did read another comment about someone trying to order blades and said he tried contacting EB But never received a response . He did state he bought them on eBay .

All should be, but the blades are clearly stamped with the date to easily verify - if for some reason it was on the recall list Vitamix is AMAZING and has taken care of my personal warranty issues w/o question and covered shipping both ways if needed.

I was supposed to receive some as a Christmas gift along with a Merkur safety razor, and the blades just arrived today (January 29th). They were ordered some time in the beginning to middle of December. The blades are high quality, however, I don't think the lower price was worth the wait.

i would think so, when i bought mine it was adv. as new! when i received it the box said reconditioned to new cond. the cost was about $ 90.00 i phoned the co. they said that it was shipped from amazons stock! i phoned amazon, the were the greatest, i told them it was sold as new etc. they gave me credit on my credit cart of $ 54.00 you fig it out.. the recon.saw works great the price was right and i've cut alot of trees down. the saw i bought would cost $ 135.00 in lowes or home depot.. amazon backs up their things. jay hodshon

Please lmk if you found this part for any less than $15 plus shipping. Since the replacement blade costs more than a new unit, I'll be forced to abandon this unit and buy a new one.

It was listed with the copter on Amazon along with a spare battery. On of those "purchasers also bought" things. I don't know if is was Amazons mistake or the shippers. The blade guard was shipped from China, and was only a couple of dollars. I probably won't bother sending it back. The address is in Chinese!
