    Please show us photos of the detail of the latching of the blades??? The book I have shows the type of set but no details.
    Thanks!

    No Problem. To put them all in the same place here's some more.

    Very similar to mine:

    Some kind of completely different mechanism:

    And a set almost identical to mine, but with an inverted latch:
