Here is the other OSP blades I have:
From left to right: Virtuoso Off-, V'King, and a Custom OSP blade of my own design.
And with the Virtuoso Plus:
For me the Virtuoso Plus is the blade that nothing else can replace. It is a perfect blade for me.

Since I have read that you are also a fan of the classic Stiga Clipper, I wonder if you have tried the "OSP Ultimate Offensive" and have any comments on that blade?

Photos of the Virtuoso Plus taken on an NYC subway train:
The V'King and the Virtuoso Off- are at home. I will try to take photos of them later tonight.

Can u give the construction layers of wood for all blades pls with weight
Maybe i can repeat these for myself
No offence when u come hk i can invite a friendly match [emoji1317]
This is pretty funny. But yeah, I can give you the ply construction for each blade. However, I can't give you the thickness for each ply, or how they get the V- and the V+ to have such different speed with the same woods but slightly different hardnesses of each wood.
1) Virtuoso Off-: Limba-Limba-Ayous-Limba-Limba
2) Virtuoso Plus: Limba-Limba-Ayous-Limba-Limba
3) V'King: Koto-Spruce-Ayous-Spruce-Koto
4) Custom: Limba-Spruce-Ayous-Spruce-Limba
The interesting thing here is that the V- and V+ both have the same ply construction as the Butterfly Primorac Off- and the Petr Korbel and yet they play nothing like either of those blades. The V'King has the same construction as that Avalox P-500 and the DHS Hurricane King and plays nothing like either of those blades. And the custom blade has the same plies as the Stiga Allround Classic and plays nothing like it either.
Without knowing the actual wood, the gluing process, the kind of glue, the thickness of each ply and a host of other things, duplicating these blades is not as easy as it sounds. But you still could end up with an awesome blade.
I have heard that the Ultimate lacks the power of the Clipper from farther back and is a little slower. I have friend who uses a Clipper who got an Ultimate and was disappointed.
I have to admit, I have not tried it and do not really know. But it seems to me to fit to some extent. My V-, I got it on the light side, and it seems a tad slower to me than my Stiga Allround Evolution even though it feels like a better blade. If my friend got his Ultimate with a lighter weight, I could see it being slower and having less power than he expected.
However, my Virtuoso Plus, I asked them to make it on the heavy side, and it seems to have speed close to a Clipper and plenty of power from further back. So I am thinking, it may just be the Ultimate that my friend ordered. However, the 7 ply blade from OSP that most interests me is the Martin.
Thanx
The weight ? B4 gluing rubbers.
Thanks Carl. I'll check out that Martin blade. Since coming back from a long TT break (more than 20 years) I have experienced that I now prefer a more stable/stiffer blade because of the bigger ball. My Intensity NCT blade is ok, but still a bit too flexible and although the speed is ok, I'm not too sure I like the feeling of the quite hard walnut nct outer layer. This is why I am investigating 7-ply blade alternatives.
Oh man, you want to know everything.
Original weights for the blades:
1) V- 86 grams
2) V+ 91 grams
3) V'King 88 grams
4) Custom 88 grams
The last time I weighed the V- it had gained some weight and was 88 grams. Same thing happened to the V+ and it was 93 grams. I assume this was mostly from the handle absorbing my sweat. I have not reweighed the other two.
Even if you take the details to a different blade maker, you will end up with something slightly different. But, still, those blade compositions will make good blades if the person making them knows what he is doing.

Thanx did u laquer them lightly or osp lacquered for u before delivery ?
Did u get any gift box with osp for their price ? How long did they take to deliver after order. Do they test blades before shipping out ?
I wont take to another maker i will order from osp im looking at ur blades details
I may alter some layers by thickness
Working with a coach to figure out
Thanx[emoji1317]
I would go to their website and check it out.
I like to seal my blades myself. But back then I don't think they offered to seal the blades.
From personal experience, the blades they make need no tinkering. I would just order the blade you want. They know what they are doing. There is a reason I use the V+ as my main blade and not the custom or any of the others.
