Took out my trusty Mitutoyo Digital Calipers and measured the blade length. I would not have noticed the difference in length except that I held them up alongside each other to compare the blades. (.144 is slightly over 1/8 inch) They are cut on a milling machine (not a laser) but the burrs from the cutting process are not removed. Took care of that with a wire brush. All things considered, they are a great value, even beating Sewell's prices.

They have a guy in charge of Ebay sales. I Emailed him about the blade length, he said that that was what Lexus is supplying now. I don't know if that's true or not, but I really have no complaints about them and like I previously posted, I wouldn't have noticed the blade length if I had not compared the old one with the new. They do not charge for shipping and their Ebay store lists an additional 5% discount on some items.

FYI -Just be-careful with the keys. I had bought 2 keys on eBay from the same seller and on both of them the blade thickness was different. The problem with that is the difficulty in cutting the key because of how thin it is. I was also told that overtime it will wear out you lock cylinder faster
