I recently purchased some of DutchWare's titanium stakes. The regulars, not the big boys. In comparing them to previously purchased stakes I noticed that they are slightly longer, slightly wider and a tad bit heavier. I didn't accidentally get the big ones as I have 2 of those on hand as well. Here's the specs:
Old: 6.25-inches & 6.2 grams
New: 6.5-inches & 6.8 grams
The website lists the old specs. Don't get me wrong. I'm not complaining. I like the new ones better. The problem is they don't match the others and that is something that is going to ever so slightly bother me every time I take them out of the stake sack.
A thumbs up for consistency in manufacturing. Of the 6 old stakes and 4 new ones, only of the 6 old ones varied in weight. A 1/10 of a gram difference.
