I haven't nicked a blade yet in 55 years but then I haven't boated much on Winnie.

I actually have a composite on my Duo prop because of the changeable blades, after having to refinish the stainless a couple times I decided to go that way, they get nicked up real easy from the sand and small pebbles that don't do anything to a stainless but I lost no speed with it.
