Bov....I may be wrong but pretty sure blade and root length go hand in hand...3.5 is the minimum length given...Mine is a little more than that,,,,,actually a lot more right now....
We live near the Brick Capital of the World.....Sanford, NC...My great uncle hauled bricks all his life....A little Mercedes Benz brick truck that only carried 4 cubes....He would stop here and pick me up too help him...Actually the truck did all the work....we just rode...Hard for me to imagine him actually killing someone...I guess it was kill or be killed...That switchblade has a pretty good cash value but to my cousin it's priceless....My cousin was a brick hauler as well....was...Multiple DUIs and no more CDLs....I gave up the alcohol myself....That pill head kid...I grew up with his father and IMO he did a sheety job of parenting...When he tried breaking in the race shop old dad just said "oh well"....Luckily I had taken a break and was just cutting the block when I came upon a strange truck in a familiar place...Pill head scrammed rather than get his head bashed...left the truck...the cops did nada...offered to lock me up for threatening him...I damn sure didn't chase the little bassturd....Now he's gotta deal with my cousin.....like I said he drinks....his brother is a mean azz dude as well and also drinks...alcohol and hate....Rutt Roww Shaggy.....I'm staying home for that one....
