    Finally used a 4-point trace() construct, testing if they rest likely
on the same blade by allowing just a little difference in height between
them.

    Also added the folding on the blades as Thomas suggested, and
increased the drop count to 30000... they don't look that great, but at
least the "bad spots" are not very distracting.

    Here is attached the final pic (and I meant FINAL, I promise),
post-processed to add reflections which were rendered as a separate
layer. Total render time: 2h15m on a Phenom X4.
