They made several different colors of splatter. You could buy a kit with both the straight & trigger earpieces. There are the first generation with yellow, black & clear arms. Those have a teardrop type splatter pattern. The second generation has the orignal color top coated & then a sling type pattern with 2-3 different colors blended in. Fit perfectly in the freestyle bmx area around Rockville, MD during the mid-late eighties.

Oakley had 3 different molds for the Blade years. If you look at several of the cross/main frame sections, you will see either a molded 1,2 or 3 in (3)circles. There may have been more than 3 versions, but one of them will have no patent numbers, the next two will have patent numbers, but in different spots. Now looking at the arm pieces, same thing goes. You will see no patent numbers on 1 set, the next 2 sets will have patent numbers, but in different spots. This is where the color mismatch & poor fitting come into play. The trigger arm pieces always fit poorly compared to the straight arms, because of the way Oakley molded the holes. The straight has a flat cut on it & the hole is in better alignment. The trigger arm pieces are always breaking, now you know why. I will tell you that keeping them out of the sunlight unless your wearing them, will save them from cracking. DONT PUT THEM ON YOUR DASHBOARD !

Very easy to use. You can just pop them off and on. I had the black ones that I put on my yellow frames. Gave it a cool custom look.

Back in 1989, I spent about one hundred and ten bucks for my neon green Razor Blades,and for twelve bucks more I was able to change my Oakley´s to look like a different pair of glasses.Not to mention the different color nose pieces,and lenses that were available back in the day;however, they did break at the hindge rather easily.The kit´s were still an asset to the Blade,Razor Blade,and Slit Lens system family.So thumbs up and four stars for the kit!

The kit is, for most of us, just a great item for the collection. It's great to have both the regular and trigger earstems in a nice kit with the old clear plastic boxing. The added guitar pick is a classic bonus!
