Leonardo & Grivak
Leonardo
Hey Grivak, I've been sketching a new blade design that cuts weight but keeps the same heft. Got any tips on how to keep gear in top shape without adding extra bulk?
Grivak
Sure thing, just keep the metal alloy to 99.5% carbon, drop any unnecessary plates, and finish it with a lightweight polymer coating that stops rust. Tighten all bolts, oil the hinges, and check the balance point every few months—worn out parts are the first thing to go. No bulk, no problem.
Leonardo
Got it, will keep an eye on the balance and tighten as needed. Thanks for the solid tip.
Grivak
No sweat. Just remember: a blade that feels like a feather is only good if it still blows a clean line. Keep it tight, keep it light. Good luck.
Leonardo
Alright, I'll keep the feather light but the edge sharp. Thanks for the reminder.
Grivak
Just keep the edge true, don't let it get too soft. Sharp enough to cut, but not a knife. Stay sharp, stay alive.
