49Second, so far as concerns the small blade, contrary to what the applicant claims, the Court finds, first of all, that a comparison of the designs at issue does not show that the small blade of the earlier mark is, in essence, smaller or less visible than the blade of the contested design or that it has a different shape from that of the contested design. Next, with regard to the cutting edge of the blade, it suffices to note that it is not clear from the images of the earlier design whether the blade is smooth or, in any event, not serrated. However, if, as the applicant suggests, samples of actual products included in the documents before OHIM forwarded to the Court are examined, it is apparent that the small blade on the earlier design is not at all smooth but, like the blade on the contested design, has a serrated cutting edge. In any event, no significant difference between the blades of the products represented by the designs at issue can be observed.
