I just culdnīt find it before, as it was saved on my PC without reference to the form of the blade, and the name-tag on the catalog also does not specify this point.

Thank you Gonzalo for keeping after that!! Excellent example of wavy edges, rather than wavy blade...and as you have previously noted, the simple omission describing these in discussion or narration can really lead to difficulties in considering dynamics.
All the best,
Jim
