is that an XXX-lite shaft, or a broken OPS? Its a broken OPS unfortunately. I tried to cut it down and put a blade in it but it soon realised that I would have to cut it down so much that I would never be able to use it myself so atm its just lying around until I find a really short adult or a really strong child who wants it. Just flip the stick around, put the blade into the other end. Tape the other end with a lot of layers to make it thick or use it like those old school coffey sticks.
