The Columbia Tomahawk Smoothing Blades are the most durable around, with no plastic pieces, they won't snap under pressure. The smoothing blades use a Flat Box handle, meaning there are no plastic adaptors that will break with the weight of the larger blades. This also increases the stability and your ability to adjust the angle of attack while in motion. The Columbia Tomahawk will change what the industry expects from a professional grade Smoothing Blade.
