Sweet glasses! I had a pair of the Blades too in 1989 I think. I did a road trip from Waterloo ON to Santa Barbara CA and don't think I took them off the whole time. My friends teased me because I had the trigger grip tan lines on my head! I have no idea what happened to them, I recall throwing the plastic case with the pick and straight arms out probably in 1993! I think I went to Frogskins next in the early 90's and went through a series of them before I found out I could get them repaired
