It's the newer incarnation... can't remember what year it became tamer ... was it 2011 or 2013?
Had it several years and it gets reasonably regular use.
Today it refused to tighten up securely on to its own handle. I imagine I must have unwittingly been careless and crossed it.
Slightly strange thing is the head does mate with a stainless handle and a stainless head does mate with the (zamak) R41 handle.... (but admittedly it's quite a loose fit).
I'm guessing the softness of the metal of both handle and head combine to prevent it tightening up now and both components are worn.
You can get a new R41 head delivered for £19 but I had a look on BST on the off-chance but can't see an R41 head there.
If anyone has a head that they're not using any more let me know.
