i do have a tps lockjaw but never put it in a shaft(paid 10$)The messier is like the messier curve on a response +(well maybe i'm wrong but that what i think!)

As for the light...it a wood blade...in my opinions,all the wood blade are pretty the same height...as for the feel i never use it!

You guys kidding? I have two and couldn't even use them they seemed so heavy.

But then again, maybe it's just me.

[kovalchuk71 212]

Ok, I dont care about how much they are around you guys, how are they?

I really liked mine. Except they came loose the odd time.

[kovalchuk71 212]

were they light?

I remember them being heavier than the easton pros and lamis at the time, and that I broke a ton of them, but kept using them due to the ease of replacing them on the fly.

Can anyone confirm that the Messier curve is the same as the 2004 curve? If not, what does it look like?

Also, do I need a special "key" to put these in or just a regular allen wrench?

You need a lockjaw shaft and the lock jaw blade, if I'm not mistaken.

I thought you could still use the blade regularly without it, just with glue. Kind've like Bauers Harpoon blade.

[kovalchuk71 212]

theres a lockjaw shaft?

[Eazy_b97 1]

Used to be, I don't think it was called a lock jaw shaft. I think the idea was you put the blade in and there was a slot for an (allen key I believe) and you just screwed that tight instead of using glue.

[kovalchuk71 212]

So, I cant use that fastening thing?I just have to use glue?

[Eazy_b97 1]

Thats how I understand it.

That's not true. I have two original Louisville Kevlar shafts taht came stock w/ lockjaw blades.

there is no hole in the shaft itself, there is a channel drilled into the back of the blade hosel.

The locjaw key is probably the best bet, but if you have an allen wrench that's long enough, you can get it in or out.

The allen wrench would have to be around 6-8 inches I think.

And once you loosen the bolt so that the tenon is the same size as a normal tenon, you can insert/remove it like a normal blade.

And what's a matter kovy, you didn't trust my comment about how heavy it is?

[kovalchuk71 212]

No man i was just getting more opinions.....:)

Anyone have the allen key they can sell/give to me?

[JR Boucicaut 3810]

Alright sorry about that. I remember the concept of putting it in and using the key, I just thought it came down (through the shaft) instead of up through the blades. My applogies.
