As Lodro pointed out, Butterfly will not reveal their secrets, they don't even disclose their compositions. But their ALC is not fully saturated, there are a lot of open spaces, not a glassy layer like you see on some of those cheap blades. What other experts? That information has been passed...

Completely true, but notice how I didn't mentioned anything about how they play. There are plenty of good and cheap blades out there, and a high price tag does not make a blade necessarily good.

Butterfly's ZLC has the same weave pattern as that one, the zylon is horizontal and the carbon is vertical. Butterfly's ALC is sort of a 1:1, but there is almost no Arylate in the vertical direction and there is a lot more space between the threads than that one. This is their proprietary weave...

They both have what is called a plain weave pattern, but the "zlc" has a ratio of 1:0, which means there is only one fiber in each direction and the ALC has a ratio of 1:1, with both fibers in both directions. The weaving pattern of the "zlc" is actually correct, that is what you find on...

Vis composition but with some minor structural changes, namely a slightly thinner top ply and a thicker core. Paired with AxC, the blade has an higher stiffness but feels softer than if regular AC was used. It also reduces the weight a bit and allows the use of Ebony in the handle, which feels...

It is a single veneer, some of my Hinoki veneers have that darker stripe. Sent from my MAR-LX1A using Tapatalk

This is a blade with a unique design, very different from a common 3+2 composition. Normally the core of a blade is placed with the grain vertically aligned, but here I'm using a horizontal core. This results in a more flexible blade, with more touch at the expense of some speed. The fiber is...

I was never a big fan of Donic style handles, but I mostly used their blades until I started making my own, so here's my homage with 13 different wood species and a senso milling. The blade is a classic Off-, Limba / Limba composition, with the aid of 200 g/m2 glassfiber, which doesn't provide a...

I just realized the image didn't show

I didn't. It may not seem like it but the inspiration for the handle was Thor's hammer, and it was made before yours 🙂

Oh, I did, sorry. Yes, the touch is softer, compared to other inner A-C blades with limba outer I had here. Sent from my MAR-LX1A using Tapatalk
