The weight of one Laminated RazorSword may even be heavier than a mono-blade; yet the laminated blade is generally more comfortable to wear and easier to bend and secure.\u00a0 Even though the laminated blade is thicker and heavier; the laminated heavy weight blade is more flexible.\u00a0 Again, this is due to the multiple thin blade layers; in which the blade laminations literally &#8220;float&#8221; upon each other at the molecular level&#8230;creating a flexible and more comfortable blade and weapon system.<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Lamination Process &#8211; <\/strong>Laminated RazorSwords are generally constructed from two thinner spring steel blades. (However, some custom blades could be manufactured with three or more thin spring steel blades) They\u00a0are laminated with the physics of molecular adhesion; the laminations form one blade, with very unique properties.\u00a0<span style=\"color: #000000;\">The heavyweight Laminated RazorSword is an engineering marvel; the laminated blades\u00a0literally &#8220;float&#8221; on each other at the molecular level&#8230;they float on a liquid sticky-grease substrate.\u00a0 The physics of molecular adhesion will not allow the blades to separate, or break apart.\u00a0 <\/span><span class=\"st\">T<\/span>his special &#8220;floating process&#8221; allows for\u00a0the release of &#8220;spring tension energy&#8221; during bending and striking; this guarantees the integrity of the steel&#8230;which produces a blade that is nearly indestructible.\u00a0 (<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Once or twice each year; it may be necessary to re-apply the sticky\/tacky grease to the inner laminated blade surface &#8211; this is an easy process that takes about 10-15 minutes)\u00a0<\/span>See simple lamination video and concrete block crushing demos.<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Attributes &amp; Differences: <\/strong>The Heavyweight Laminated RazorSwords were designed to be much-much heavier and more rigid than the Feather Weight or Light Weight\u00a0RazorSwords&#8230;but still easy to bend\u00a0and secure. (<em>Laminated Blades may not always be the best for thrusting; see specifications below.\u00a0 If you prefer a more rigid blade for thrusting&#8230;yet a blade that is slightly lighter and faster; please see the Apex Predator Series<\/em>) The laminated heavy weight blades are\u00a0great for beginners to experts, and are generally easy to use!<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: windowtext;\"><strong>Belt Loops Sizing:<\/strong> Your belt loops need to be\u00a0<span style=\"color: windowtext;\">absolutely no less<\/span>\u00a0than 2.0\u201d &#8211; 2.25&#8243;\u00a0<span style=\"color: windowtext;\">inside height<\/span>\u00a0to allow the\u00a0BeltSword System\u00a0to pass easily through your belt loops.\u00a0 If your belt loops are too small;\u00a0<strong>there are plenty of jeans for sale with the much larger belt loops,\u00a0<\/strong>or a\u00a0tailor can easily increase the inside height of your belt loops.
