I got two boxes of Valiani blades, both have got an inspection date (stamped inside the lid ) of 2005, only got one box last week from Simons and the other came this week with my new head.
Can't say if the cut quality is effected, as at the moment I'm cutting around 1500 shaped mounts (elephants, penguins, birds etc) so I do use a lot of blades on these designs as opposed to regular square/ rectangle windows (looking forward to cutting a square window).
