Hi Michal,
Good to hear from you. Are you getting any racing in over there or just out cruising?
Both Dave O and Dave D have tried stainless steel blades on the base of their fins. Both claim that it helps with grass, but now and then they DO get cut. Kind of risky!
They installed the blades by cutting a slot in the front base with a hack saw, setting in the blade right up against thr fin, and sealing with epoxy. Since the blades have a hole in their base, it probably would be better to make the slot and then drill a small hole side to side for a pin which can then "set" the blade. Then fill in the gaps with wax. That would make the blade easier to replace.
Bye for now!
Robert
