They have gone 'old school' with it, why do you think they have done that?

My opinion is its to make money rather than come up with a better product.

Except darbys progressed to aluminium for a reason, they can mass produce one out of ali for around 30 quid and its better than its wooden predecessor.

Mahogany has some sort of aura about it, like the caviar of wood so it seems like its worth its 40 odd quid price tag


But who knows if a piece of cheap (german word) pine would do the same job?

When I started 29 years ago the feather edge that I used to do the bits around the frames was already ancient. I can remember my old man using a file to straighten up the edge where it had gone out of straight by rubbing on the door linings and screeds.

You're not wrong, people don't realise that there are different grades of ali. The heavier ali is also more rigid and harder wearing, I never look to buy a feather edge because it's "nice and light", the good ones are not as easy to get hold of as most spreads just want what's light and cheap.

Well lets say it does swell, and by say 5%.

Hardly any difference really and is it even a problem?
