Fein is starting to remind me of DeBeers
I am sending this email to let you know that we have been informed by Fein that some features of our blades for the Multimaster are in violation of US Patent Law.
The blades for the Supercut appear to be OK at this time but it needs to be verified.
The issue has been resolved amicably with no legal consecuences but we will not be able to sell anymore any of the blades we have been making for the Multimaster.
The problem revolves around the star hole.
I firmly believe that the star hole I use is different than the one Fein uses but I don’t have the millions needed to prove that in court.
I thank you for your past support and hope to count on you again in the future.
Thanks

I see that ebay guy is still selling his blades.

A-holes. Hey every group has to have one. And I have been elected to be the one. I should make that my tagline.
Is the star shaped hole really necessary?
I know it helps with traction, but why not just ridges or something instead?
Actually, I'd keep selling them till they actually took me to court and made me stop. I think they're bluffing. :)
