It didn’t last 8 months. It was of very bad quality. Maybe there was a manufacturing error. I didn’t hit it against the table, so it has no dents. The blade split by one of the carbon layers. I have never had this problem before with any other blades after 40 years of playing.

-- No warranty from the seller however after calling Butterfly, they just sent me a replacement.

Very good and cheap blade from BTY. If you like NSD, but want a more handy blade, this is the one.
