  Butterfly say that the Primorac off- blade is 157x150 (HxW), every site that I can find with this blade information has that same measures. But not mine?!?!?!? Mine is 158x152, it alert me because I buy a new blade with this measures and the rubbers I was using on the Primorac fit like a glove, instead of being short!!! Is this blade fake? I buy it new, online, from a respectable store in spain |

Your primorac is not the latest version but it is indeed the European version wich has a bigger size than japan version.

It is not fake, it is just the european primorac in which you can find a lot of details that it shouldn't have.

I understand, but this is very unresponsible of butterfly...A Blade of 30€ deserves the same respect of a Blade of 300€.

Its been a long time since Cheapo BTY arent made in Japan... There are many examples of poor craftsmanship on BTY as well: Boll Forte/Tricarbon/TB All/Gionis series...

Butterfly doesn't care for these little problems. If butterfly cared for us, then they would make only Japanese products and they would sell them all around the world...This would be nice from them. But...they make some exeptions and they keep all the "made in Japan" blades only for asian market. In europe , america etc you are forced to buy some products made in hungary(i think) and not in Japan.

As the gionis series regards, tiehwen my friend, I think these blades are very well made in comparison to primorac, boll forte, korbel etc. I was very impressed when I first hold in my hands the gionis blades, I was expecting the poor craftmanship, but finally they are a lot better than the other cheapo bty blades.
