Any shorter and real soon it would be impossible. The blade metal type
matters too. Posting a video of some guy holding up a 12 foot blade and
twisting it, followed by the rest of the blade falling into place, is
totally unconvincing. I've seen all of those anyway. I'll believe it
when I see somebody flip a 32 7/8" long 1/2" wide blade. Would be fun to
watch.

Just remembered... I have a Morse 32 7/8" blade (one of three, unused,
because the other two sucked) in the trashcan to fish out and try it on.
I'll go get it.

The new Dewalt blades came and of course they are facing the right
direction. The others will go back without damaging them while trying to
flip them. Manhandling stuff is fun. I enjoy taking a set of vice grips
to destroy some hard object. No problem here. Nothing to do with lack of
force. Crunch it until my wrists hurt. I love force, and leverage.
