If you go in person, and they come in blow-molded blue 2-piece protectors
with paper labels, you will know it is the same stuff I complained about.
The first lot I got were only mediocre, but the sharpening wasn't notably
bad. The last batch WAS really bad, crooked end sharpening, wildly
uneven gashing, etc.

As for the getting old, and not really blind, but definitely a narrowing
of the
good focus range of my eyes, it is happening way to fast for me!
