Viscaria beast mode!

Giangt · Aug 23, 2017

For a while I have been thinking about doing a project with a Viscaria blade. Today I received some tools which I needed to be able to do it. Thanks to Der_Echt and his many beast mode projects I know what to do and how to do it.

Many ppl of TTD and MyTT have assumed that the Viscaria is a WRB blade like other ALC blades from butterfly. Myth is busted. The newest Viscarias are solid as a rock!

More to come when I am progressing my project.

Edit:

So I proceeded my Project and it involved a Stiga Infinity blade I have gotten from China. This blade has hollow handle caps but no WRB cut in the blade it self. The size of the cut out is approx. 31x18mm. I forgot to measure the depth, but a wild guess would be that is was 3-5mm. I didn't was the WRB feeling for so I decided to fill up the caps with plastic wood which you can buy in every home depo. I did want to put nails or metal clamps inside due to I wanted to hit a weight around the 90g. (sorry Der_Echt).

Here are the result of my project. Enjoy

Just soak it in Dianchi booster for 24 hours and you'll have the ultimate beast!

Then I know why are they so good. Besides the excellent construction, good handle shape and balance.

What do you mean by " The newest Viscarias are solid as a rock!"

Was there ever a non solid one?

I don't know if the former generations of Viscarias have hollow handles. I haven't seen anyone tried to take off the handle caps of their Viscarias.
So that is the reason for my statement that the latest/newest generation of Viscaria have solid handles.

How did you cut the handle off? Nice clean cut!

I used a "artist" knife as the one Der_Echt mentioned in his thread. I didn't have a heat gun, but instead I used a hairdryer. You have to be parient not ruining the top when sliding the knife under the handle caps. I think it will be easier when using a heat gun, then the knife will cut through like it was butter.

There you have it. Viscaria does not have a hollow handle. I think they conferred with Der_Echte for the design and he didn't even realize what they were doing. Looks like the goon squad got Der after all. Or at least learned from him.

What about Stiga caps on Viscaria blade?

Perhaps inside the caps there are nails or clips. I haven't thought about drilling through the handles caps to see if there are any inside. I am afraid the goon squad will be coming after me if I do.

You read my mind.

Well, there were some speculations that FZD used Stiga Infinity caps on a Viscaria blade

So, by caps, you mean the handle. I am not sure that it is speculation.

langel · Aug 23, 2017

Well, my bad english assured me the truth

Ahh I see. FZD is definitely not using a Stiga Infinity blade.
perhaps I will

I actually knew what you meant. But Giang's post was very funny.

langel · Aug 23, 2017

I will not

Ha, ha, I ment I'l not use Stiga, sorry.

And that do not mean others should not, of course.

I have opened up several blade handles also only to discover the handle pieces and neck were solid...
