thanks guys. I was looking at NetCraft and they sell the Hildebrandt Colorado blades. They look like the way to go, although I wish they came in a genuine silver plating. I'm only seeing nickle and gold. Gold is ok but I'm not too fond of nickle. A true white Matte silver plate on a Colorado blade would be money!!! like that really dull matte silver offered by R&B spoons. that finish killed it for me last year. The attraction radious is off the charts with that finish.

And Rossiman. Please post some pics. Those blades sound killer.
