But if we look at blades #30 and #31 in the chart, the refference to the second one only appears to raise the price, for cutting through a blade identical to that in #30. Could in this case the term CUTT mean blade piercing ? And the double TT only due to the chart writer poor spelling ... as seen in other terms in the said chart ...

What is a cut through blade? I'm not certain I am aware of this.
