Thanks! Yeah, I know you prefer the classic look.

That would be a good name for a chocolate :D

This is one of those comments that really makes your day. Thank you!

Commissioned blade with a unique composition! Composition: Kiso Hinoki / Blue Fig / I-C / Ayous / I-C / Blue Fig / Kiso Hinoki Weight: 93.9g Thickness: ~5.85mm Freq.: 1250 Hz Balance: 2.2 cm (Low/very low)

Cleanest edges I've seen on a Balsa blade, very nice.

Thanks! The usual Innegra outer uses Framiré as the top ply and that one is Off-, from my experience and others who have tested it. Indian Teak is harder than Framiré so it should be faster, I would say in the upper range of Off- or a slow Off.

Amazon Rosewood, it does not only look good as it's also one of the best feeling handles in my opinion.

The first of 3 blades I made for a costumer. This one is my usual Innegra outer composition but with Indian Teak top ply. Composition: Indian Teak / IC / Limba / Kiri / Limba / IC / Indian Teak Weight: 90.7g Thickness: ~5.7mm Freq.: 1335 Hz Balance: 1.9 cm (very low)

Simple but effective. A commissioned inner ZLC blade similar to the "Apolonia". Composition: Limba / Ayous / ZLC / Ayous / ZLC / Ayous / Limba Weight: 87.3g Thickness: ~5.65mm Freq.: 1315 Hz Balance: 3.1cm (Med)

Oh, that's what you mean by high throw. I suppose so, it's a very bouncy blade.

Why do you say that?

This is probably my most requested handle design, but there is a catch with this one. Unlike the majority of my other designs, in order to get the faded look, I dye the wood. This means that it needs a protective layer, otherwise the dye will rub off over time, so I seal the handle. I have tried...

Fineline top for the FH and Ayous for the BH with some other stuff in between. It does have some twists I did not want to reveal yet :)

Combination blade for an attacking chopper. Probably the most difference between sides I could get on a blade with the BH side close to ALL- and OFF- for the FH side. Weight: 89.7g Thickness: 6.4mm Freq.: 1184/1140 Hz Balance: 2.6cm (very low)

A fine example of how a good balance can make a heavy blade feel lighter than what really is. Owner was very aware of the importance of a good balance so he intentionally asked for a heavy handle, despite the increase in the total weight. The result is a 100g plus blade that feels much lighter...

Done!

A little experiment I did using two bouncy woods, Hinoki and Fineline. Don't let the relatively low frequency fool you, this thing is soft but fast! Composition: Hinoki / Fineline / I-C / Ayous / I-C / Fineline / Hinoki Weight: 95.8g Thickness: ~6.0mm Freq.: 1290 Hz Balance: 2.9cm (Low)

Great info there Carl, just a few notes: It has been shown that Zylon degraded quickly when exposed to light, heat and moisture. The difference is that in bullet proof vests the zylon sheets are just stitched in multiple layers to make a ballistic panel. In a TT blade the fibers need a resin to...

Commissioned inner style blade. Simple but effective. Composition: Limba / Ayous / A-C / Ayous / A-C / Ayous / Limba Weight: 90.3g Thickness: ~5.75mm Freq.: 1320 Hz Balance: 2.8 cm (low)

Some of mankind's greatest inventions were born of mistakes!
