The other Mitchell Paddle company

Post by milkman »

I was doing a search for Mitchell paddles, intending to go to the US Mitchell manufacturers site, but discovered there is also a Mitchell paddle company in England. Who knew?

Check out their whitewater OC1 blade: http://www.mitchellblades.co.uk/our-pad ... tang&id=11

It seems like they have their own proprietary technology for extending tip wear. Check out: http://www.mitchellblades.co.uk/our-pad ... nd-design/

Has anyone on this forum tried one of these paddles? Anyone going to England anytime soon?

Mitchell Blades is run by the nephew of David and Peggy Mitchell founder of Mitchell Paddles. I would guess that they might be pretty decent since the nephew worked over here for his uncle at one point. I have never seen any in the US though. It would be nice to try one out.
