I appreciate that Benarus is doing the recall so that they get it right. However, I have to wonder if these alloys are really all that different? Is there really a significant difference between them? It almost seems a little extreme and not enough of a big deal to warrant an exchange. The current case looks like bronze to me.
It is bronze...But as bronze is an alloy, it contain various proportions of different metals: Each alloy has special properties. Benarus wants to use the CuSn8 because it seems to have better corrosion reacting with salt water and also has more copper who gives a very slight reddish reflect...
