Btw, I left off the sarcasm tag and the smiley face. Like your tagline says, you’re old enough to figure it out. (That’s a fun tagline.)

I don't do well with sarchasm* either.

Definitely a different look than what you see in movies such as The Hunt for Red October. Rather than a smooth radial array of blades, these ones appear to have a decidedly dog leg kink to them.

Thanks in part to Toshiba, which is why my husband states we will NEVER own anything with a Toshiba nameplate.

Your husband is right....I won't own anything identifiable as a Toshiba product either.

I take it personally when somebody tries to kill me!

Yeah, sort of like the scimitar blades the Tripoli pirates wielded. Get around 7 of those puppies manufactured in high strength phosphor-bronze and blown up to 8 or 9 feet in length, with even more radically curved tips. Now weld the hilts to a strong hub and bolt it onto the shaft of a submarine.

Quiet mojo.
