Can't really tell if it's w968 with Loki handle or real Loki blade, so meh, it doesn't matter much.
LJK's mental game is very impressive and matters a lot though.
Loki's top ply grains is quite bright.
the video could be lighting affected, but it does look like bright too.

Maybe he was using the outer version with dark handles ;) Would have been nice if Loki had used a similar dark design for that blade too.
They will do that eventually with a blade, give it a shape almost exactly as the original and call it Cyber Hexa Carbon, ripping off two brands at the same time.

It seems the ADC versions are inner carbon with limba top layer (w968 structure).

The ALC versions are outer carbon with a koto top layer (Viscaria structure).

I don't see any info pricing info and I'm not sure what the difference is between the regular and special versions.

They all have the Liang Jinkun name.

This is a very vague response to a question you clearly don't know the answer to.

Hopefully some actual information comes out from Loki.

But I think we'll probably have to wait a while for actual reviews.
But actually thats basically it...Market version vs "special" "Pro" "signature" "Player" "provincial" "national" version...🤣🤣
On the booth graphics they shared some specs...
SPECIAL: Elasticity: 90% "Bottom Strenght": 100% Stability 95%
Market: Elasticity: 70% "Bottom Strenght": 80% Stability 75%
Take all this with a grain of salt

The 2 best blades I have ever tried are the $20 Lemuria Long 5 and the $30 Stuor Harimoto ZLC in terms of power, elasticity, feeling, control, catch.

I think the price makes less difference than just the pure luck/variance of each blade. Each blade's wood and feeling and stiffness will be just slightly different.

Even with expensive butterfly blades, the reported weights and frequencies are very scattered, and each blade will be different.
