I have been wondering about the consitency of the blade
profile.  I would think that some sort of mold would allow
for repeatability between blades.  If you made the mold
so you could twist it a little without distorting it, you
could "Play" with the twist without starting all over again.

Make one blade profile that is "perfect" (hihgly subjective ;)
and use it for the mold.  Then make two copies from your
molds to make two very close to identical blades (nothing
is perfect!)

Just a thought...

Twisting the mold sounds like a pretty good idea. Might work.
