Picked up 2 2nd hand props ?.. both are Stainless Steel High 5 props ?.
Neither has any dings or damage, but noticed that they both have what I would class as a slight straight portion on the leading edge of each blade.
I have never had that on my previous stainless props ? but never had a High 5 before.

I would have thought that wear this even on all 5 blades on both props is unlikely, but thought I would check.
If you have a High take a look at the pictures I have uploaded and let me know if your prop has same ?slight flattening?

Pic 1 one shows the blade

It appears the flats are a design characteristic.

The high five prop I had purchased new looked just like that.
