I had two teknas with alum. blades, have two AUL 2000 and one 3000 AUL
scooters with alumimun blades i've never had a problem, although i've never
sharpened the blades to turn them into a vegamatic. I also have an apollo
that we use for digging it does have plastic blades but they are the
toughest plastic blade i've ever had. The tekna seem to break as soon as
they hit something i real see no problem with an aluminum blade.
