Blade is a pattern reducing gene. So if your animal has the blade gene then it should look like a cleaner, more reduced pastel. Blade clowns also just look like really nice, clean clowns. They get that perfect straight line down their back with really clean sides. Maybe you could upload a pic of the animal? There are some really knowledgeable people on this forum who I'm sure could give valuable input on the genetics if they were able to see a pic.
