At 2 and a quarter I think many "shorties" are marketed as lady's blades. I guess the reasoning is that they are better for the pit area. Who knows? Who cares lol - I love my shorties!!

2.5" is the smallest I have (I think). I have one Revisor, and two Swedes that are shorties and I dig em!! They whip around my face like no other! Great fun, but unless you can find fools like me lol, you'll be hard pressed selling them.
