In all honesty folks.
I spend 30-40$ every 2-3 years on a grinder..
I would spend a 100$ if it was 316 Stainless… thing would prolly last damn near a lifetime and would be very easy to clean. Something you could pass on to the next generation of tokers while they’re busy laser vaping THC Blueberry Knobgobbler Juice.
Brilliant cut is guaranteed for life. Also made from 7075 aluminum. Which comes in right between 316 and 304 stainless for hardness. I’ll take the weight savings over the 316 any day
