You know how I use AxC fiber, that one achieves a softer touch (compared to regular A-C) by having the Aramid from side to side, and higher stiffness by having the Carbon up to down. Well, AyC is the exact opposite of that, the Carbon is running horizontally and the Aramid vertically, achieving...

Lodro is absolutely right here. Carl is trying to describe an intrinsic characteristic of the material with the wrong word. In their natural state these fibers are all pliable, they are just fabrics after all, it's not until you bond them with some sort of resin that you exploit their full...

This thread is full of misinformation, Butterfly doesn't cut their blades, they sand them. ZLC doesn't apply any extra pressure on the core, that doesn't even make sense. It's just a layer that's bonded to the other ones. I still fail to see how the blade is "broken". Wood has defects, and the...

Who says carbon blades need to be fast? - Willow / Ayous / soft-carbon / Ayous x3 / soft-carbon / Ayous / Willow - 94.5g - 5.6mm - 970Hz - Balance: 1.8cm (Very low)

Yes.

Cork has virtually no stiffness of its own, it bends very easily in every direction, so it doesn't add stiffness to the blade, only indirectly by increasing the distance between the other plies. Also, because it has a lot of voids, there is some energy dissipation, and it serves as a dampening...

A pair of two very different blades: Left - Anigre / A-C / Ayous / Kiri / Ayous / A-C / Anigre - 80.8g - 5.65mm - 1550Hz - Balance: 2.3cm (Low) Right: - Limba / Spruce / T-C90 / Ayous / Cork / G-F / Ayous - 89.5g - 6.1mm - 1150Hz - Balance: 2.3cm (Low)

Another 5 ply with a classic composition. Normally these types of blades use Spruce on the medial layer, but I decided to use Cypress to give it a softer feel. Available FS. - Koto / Cypress / Ayous / Cypress / Koto - 89.4g - 5.85mm - 157x150mm - AN (102x25-23mm) - 1250Hz - Balance: 2.4cm (Low)

Custom order. - Soft Pine / SZLC / Ayous / Kiri / Ayous / SZLC / Soft Pine - 88g - 5.7mm - 1528Hz - Balance: 2.0cm (Very Low)

Two custom blades for a father and son, based on the third series Grubba Carbon. - Anigre / Soft-Carbon / Ayous / Soft-Carbon / Anigre - 89 and 88g - 5.3mm - 1100Hz - Balance: 2.5 and 2.1cm

#440 and 441 sold

It's similar, but not exactly the same shape. It flares out more on the bottom, it's also thicker but slightly rounder near the wings.

This one was supposed to be a custom order, but unfortunately it turned out to be a little slower than what we were aiming for. It's loosely based on a DHS 032, but with a different ply structure, Hinoki and Western Red Cedar instead of Basswood and Luan. Built with hide glue, a classic looking...

Added #356, 440 and 441

Castanholas fits very nicely 😁

This blade introduces a new fiber I've been using - Spectra. Spectra and Dyneema (used by Tibhar) are Ultra-High Molecular Weight Polyethylene fibers. This remarkably durable material is one of the world’s strongest and lightest fibers. Performance wise, this fiber feels soft, with a moderate...

"FZD is a beast and he uses a Viscaria, maybe I should use one" or "That guy has tremendous skill and placement and he uses a 5 ply, maybe I should use one". How are these two different? They aren't, and they are both wrong approaches because those players are not you. Different tools for...

I don't get it. First you complain about the ALC blade I made for being too slow. Then you go and open a thread saying everyone else is wrong because carbon blades are too fast. If that's the case, then the blade should be working out great for you. Or maybe it really is way too slow. But wait...

And once in a while, this handle comes along 🙂 Left: - Smoked Eucalyptus / Ayous / Textreme-Carbon / Ayous / Textreme-Carbon / Ayous / Smoked Eucalyptus - 88.7g - 5.9mm - 1335Hz - Balance: 2.8cm (Low) Right: - Koto / Glassfiber-Carbon / Ayous / Kiri / Ayous / Glassfiber-Carbon / Koto - 88.9g...

The new printing technique was one of the things I wanted to showcase, I can basically print anything with perfect quality now. I wish I had come up with something fancier, but it's not easy at all 😅.
