Looking sharp

This is the Freud D0724X Diablo circular saw blade.

Compare it with the market-leading framing blade, the Irwin Marathon.

The Diablo is a lot easier on the eyes, no? The thing is, it didn’t have to be. No one really cares if a circular saw blade looks good or not, but they made it look good anyway — and without adding any cost; both these blades are printed in only three colors.

Please let’s have more like this. The world has enough designs for artsy clocks and chairs. What we need is more design in parts of the world that are currently ugly.
