    Which Optronics blade is best for Oakley Straight Jacket?

    Just curious - who has had success edging Oakley Straight Jackets with an Optronics edger, and which blade did you use? We have a Hi Wrap II blade but this frame needs a shelf on the back side of the bevel rather than one that is angled.

    And no, I can't afford an MEI edger.

    Thanks in advance!

    Just use that blade and "hand-shelf' the back section.

    There's a blade labeled "Hilco Sport Rx" by Optronics that appears to have a straight profile on the back rather than angled backwards. I just didn't know if anyone had tried it with that frame yet.

    The Hi Wrap II does a good job on most wrapped frames for us though.
