  1. SDC Handmade Blades

    #1161 - Outer AC - OFF I've put a few blades with this composition here, normally I make them softer but this one is harder, crisper and faster. The handle is also a bit more faithful to the M. Maze original shape. - Limba / AC / Ayous / Kiri core - 88.1g - 5.8mm - 157x150mm - FL...

    Yeah, once you go dense, it's hard coming back 😅. Seems like you need a new one 😁
  3. SDC Handmade Blades

    #1158 - Inner AC - OFF- Although the composition on this one is similar to a HL5, I would say it's a little different. That's because I used a very low density Ayous core, almost the density of Kiri. These low density boards are getting increasingly harder to find, and in fact I used my last...

    #1138 - Outer Aramid - OFF-/OFF This is a 5+2 with a 7 ply all wood pedigree. The construction is very similar to a 7 ply blade with 3 thick center layers, but underneath the top ply I have used a very thin and light Aramid fabric. The feeling is essentially all wood, with some dampened...
  5. SDC Handmade Blades

    That is way too specific not to be a custom order 😅.

    #1126 - 3+2 - OFF/OFF+ By using a plain Aramid fabric instead of a plain Carbon fabric in this composition, we get something along the lines of a Primorac Carbon, but with a softer feel. Still a very stiff and stable blade with plenty of speed for a more direct playstyle. Available FS. -...

  8. SDC Handmade Blades

    #1102 - Outer IC - OFF- This is a stiff but soft blade, it prioritizes control and spin over speed, while keeping a certain directness typical of outer fiber blades. I already have this blade ready for a while, so it's merely a coincidence, but this is the same concept as the new Outerforce...
  9. SDC Handmade Blades

    I've been away for some time again, I have plans, but life always get's in the way 😅 Ok, let's get back to posting some blades, starting with this very basic, straight up Vis composition with a slightly different handle shape. #1101 - Outer ALC - OFF - Koto / ALC / Ayous / Kiri core - 87.8g -...
  10. All about blade sealing

    It's not only about the wood species itself, but how it was cut, dried, etc... As I've explained before. Some blades don't require sealing, but it's not always easy to judge.

    Stabilized wood is very heavy compared to natural wood, but it still doesn't have enough mass for that purpose, it would need to be something heavier or they would be very big.
  12. Butterfly 2025 New Blades: Outer Force ALC, CAF, ZLC

    Well, you may have your doubts, but it's still Ayous 😅. Ayous is uncommon as an outer layer but not unheard of. DHS uses such a soft Limba that it might as well be Ayous, and Butterfly has an history of using Ayous too, like the Viscaria Light for example. I have built some blades with Ayous...
  13. Butterfly 2025 New Blades: Outer Force ALC, CAF, ZLC

    The outer layer is Ayous, not koto, and the core seems to be slightly thicker. That's why these blades are thicker but slower and lighter.

    Never heard of Awan wood, but it might just be my own ignorance... I know some brands use it, but for example Donic has a habit of using different names just to make the compositions sound more exotic. In the burn series it's Ayous for example, not Awan.

    They do, not the color specifically, but the type of wood. There are many types of handles, natural wood, fineline, "G-Fless", stabilized wood, cork... There are many different wood species, and they can greatly differ in hand feeling/sweat absorption, depending on their properties. There are...

    I asked an AI app to generate an image of the SDC team (consisting of only me), wishing their customers a Merry Christmas. This is pretty close I guess, not morbid at all 😂 Merry Christmas!

    It depends, sometimes it takes me a while but I always do! I have a few unanswered emails, I will do it as soon as possible.

  19. SDC Handmade Blades

    It was 😅. I kinda already do this. I leave a "sacrificing" layer underneath sometimes, if the handle needs to be removed, that layer is easily replaced.

    Straight to the top 5 of the hardest handles I've ever made. #556_557 - Koto / ALC / Ayous / Kiri / Limba / Limba
