Sollex Pro 975P for plaster, which delivers both better performance and longer life at high wear and tear than most other blades on the market. The knife blade is designed to cut plasterboard for construction professionals.
However, if you are a flooring professional we recommend Sollex Pro Titan 975PT. The blade has a titanium coating which gives unmatched durability when cutting floor mats and linoleum. The edge of the blade is titanium coated, which means that the titanium protects the blade from damage before the edge is worn down. The long blade Sollex pro-Titan 975PT is fantastic for linoleum flooring, paper and industrial materials. Unfortunately, the blade of the Sollex Pro Titan 975PT does not work optimally for cutting plasterboard. This is when the titanium breaks up the plaster and it settles like a membrane on top of the blade's coating. The utility blade then becomes thicker and it becomes slower to cut the plasterboard. But for cutting floor material or paper rolls, the blade Sollex Pro Titan is perfect.
For the most abrasive materials like fire-resistant plaster, lead sheet and reinforced flex material we recommend that you choose the knife blade Banzai 975B.

The blade has a bo-hi (fuller) starting just above the tsuba and terminating close to the kissaki tip and is a standard Shinogi Zukuri geometry with chu-kissaki. While quite clear, there is a little black patina on the spine of the sword that would require a new polish to remove.
There are no indications of battle damage, though this does not mean that it was never raised in anger, only that there are no visible marks indicating that it had made contact with another blade or damaging target of any type.
The banzai charge is considered to be one method of gyokusai (玉砕, "shattered jewel"; honorable suicide), a suicide attack, or suicide before being captured by the enemy such as seppuku.[5] The origin of the term is a classical Chinese phrase in the 7th-century Book of Northern Qi, which states "丈夫玉碎恥甎全", "A true man would [rather] be the shattered jewel, ashamed to be the intact tile."[6] Among the rules there existed a code of honor that was later used by Japanese military governments.
During the U.S. raid on Makin Island, on August 17, 1942, the U.S. Marine Raiders attacking the island initially spotted and then killed Japanese machine gunners. The Japanese defenders then launched a banzai charge with bayonets and swords, but were stopped by American firepower. The pattern was repeated in further attacks, with similar results.[14]
During the Guadalcanal campaign, on August 21, 1942, Colonel Kiyonao Ichiki led 800 soldiers in a direct attack on the American line guarding Henderson Field in the Battle of the Tenaru. After small-scale combat engagement in the jungle, Ichiki's army mounted a banzai charge on the enemy; however, against an organized American defense line, most of the Japanese soldiers were killed and Ichiki subsequently committed suicide.[15]
The largest banzai charge of the war took place during the Battle of Saipan. General Yoshitsugu Saitō gathered almost 4,300 Japanese soldiers, walking wounded and some civilians, many unarmed, and ordered the charge. On July 7, 1944, it slammed directly into the Army's 1st and 2nd Battalions of the 105th Infantry Regiment, which lost almost 2,000 men[17] in the 15-hour pitched battle. The attack was ultimately repulsed, and almost all the Japanese soldiers taking part in the charge were killed.
During the Soviet invasion of Manchuria, as the 1st Red Banner Army invaded Mutanchiang, the Soviet 5th Army to the south continued its advance westward, enveloping and destroying the Japanese 278th Infantry Regiment, the survivors of which mounted a last-ditch banzai charge rather than surrender.[18] By the end of the day, all of Mutanchiang had fallen into Soviet hands, and the battle for the city was over.[19] Shortly afterward, the main strength of the Kwantung Army laid down its arms in surrender as per the Emperor's broadcast. The Battle of Mutanchiang, and World War II, had come to an end.
Some Japanese commanders, such as General Tadamichi Kuribayashi, forbade their men from carrying out banzai charges. Indeed, the Americans were surprised that the Japanese did not employ banzai charges at the Battle of Iwo Jima.[20][21]
Hi
I am looking at replacing my 2017 blades with S1s but not sure about what appears to be the monofilm window and its durability / brittleness. The clear window version of the Goya Banzai seems to use a laminate (2 sheets of film glued together) that Goya claims is stronger, more UV resistant and more crinkle-proof than monofilm.
I'd appreciate any thoughts and experiences on this - many thanks.
Re window layers - think the Banzai is 2 pvc like layers ? together , not monofilm ...
I have been using the 2021 s1's - they are amazing , and feel super light even compared to previous years versions ... Cant rate them enough , and have a feeling top end is further improved 2021 models ....
Unless you are surfing super heavy heavy waves , then its worth the extra lightness .. If your at all wanting that durability of Banzai (even though I don't think there's alot in it) , then you could always go banzai in smaller sizes , say 4.5 and under .... and s1 in bigger sizes and appreciate all that lightness in the lighter airs ...
Theres a bunch of guys around here use severnes in lots of logo mast , with no issues at all ...
Great advice. If I go S1, I am thinking I'll go 4.0, 4.4, 4.8, 5.2, then keep my Blade 5.7. I'd probably not replace the 3.7 blade, as for the sake of 0.3M at the top end, I'd avoid having to buy a 340 mast and won't have to faff with adjustable sail heads (which are annoying imho)
Blades for autopilot control through huge range ,.... less changing down .... etc all conditions ... slightly stiffer feel in general than S1 ... If you sail frontal conditions with frequent showers wind up and down - would be almost unbeatable ...
S1 for more sideways pressure in the sail , useful for certain types of waveriding , even in very side off , ... Don't know if this is my imagination , but the 2021 almost feels like a blade luff curve with 4 battens ,.??? ... as I think s1 even smoother feel than usual , and better top end than ever ...
You can also add bit of back hand pressure to blade (and make it feel flexier / more s1 like) , if you rig on a softer lower section .... Ie take 4.0 blade , has insane stability on the rec 370 with 4-6 extension , if you rig it on a 340 bottom / 370 top , with approx 18-20 ext , its more s1 like , bit more fullness, life and shape in lower half , and draft moves back slightly (im talking line adjustment maybe 3 cm ) ... It feels a bit more alive in the hands , at the expense of some upper range stability , anyways - intersting to experiment .... I like my 4.5 and 4.7 blades rigged with 370 bottom section ....
