The blade on the current 17 is funky looking......simple as that Scott. My comment wasn’t said to start an argument with you or anyone else. It was a legit comment. How cool would it be to build a 17 exactly like the early 17’s. There are probably many of us that would want to own a 17 like that. As for your comment about building a 40’s Mod 1 or a 60’s Mod 18 well they haven’t changed Nearly as much as the 17. But yeah I would like that too. Would you have not been such a wise guy if I had said “awkward” blade instead of “funky”?
