Custom order, based on a Nittaku Goriki but with a standard head size. - Walnut / Walnut / Walnut / Walnut / Walnut - 101.2g - 5.1mm - 990Hz - Balance: 3.0cm (Med)

This is not a blade for spin. It's relatively stiff, but quite slow on the Willow side, which will produce low arc disruptive shots by using LP's. The Spruce side, supported by a hard Rosewood layer, will help finishing the point using fast and direct shots. Available FS. - Spruce / Rosewood /...

Not having tried it myself I can't pinpoint exactly, but I've seen it look down on a Primorac Carbon.

Very little bending if that's what you mean, but there is some out-of-plane deformation due to the thin textreme-carbon. That gives some sense of softness, which compensates for the high stiffness to some degree.

No, this one is stiff as a brick! Sent from my MAR-LX1A using Tapatalk

You can just ask the owner of this one to have a go. - Kumamoto Hinoki / TC160 / Balsa / TC160 / Kumamoto Hinoki - 73g - 8.3mm - 1940Hz - Balance: 1.5cm (Very Low)

I have nightmares about it!

Something like that 😅

Kiri's scientific name is Paulownia, you can have Paulownia Elongata and Tomentosa, which are two species that I use, I don't know if there are more. So, they aren't exactly the same, different density and hardness, but at the same time they are very similar. Same happens with Ayous and Samba...

That's not exactly true, every fiber has its own intrinsic properties like density, thickness, stiffness, hardness, feel, that will stand out if everything else is equal. What is wrong is to compare blades with different compositions, and attribute those differences to the top ply alone, or...

Custom order. - Koto / ALC / Ayous / Kiri / Ayous / ALC / Koto - 89.5g - 5.75mm - 1421Hz - Balance: 2.5cm (Low)

If the wood is stable in terms of humidity levels before the manufacturing process, there is no reason for wood to crack. Wood only cracks if there is a change in the volume, either caused by expansion or retraction, and those can only be caused by moisture exchanges or temperature. So, if a...

I haven't been posting a lot of penhold blades, that's my fault, I will try to do it more often. This one is a very light specimen, very stiff but relatively soft due to the AxC fiber. The low weight brings the speed down a bit, but it's still a very fast blade in the bottom of the OFF+ range...

I'm not sure what you mean by crack... Do you mean spontaneously break? Or break due to use?

Mostly because the owner wanted it this way, the composition and handle design originated from his concept. The goal was to have a not too fast combi blade meant for SP on the Fh, with a more direct trajectory, and a safer arc on the Bh.

Custom order asymmetric blade. - Kumamoto Hinoki / Hinoki / ZLC / Balsa / A-C / Ayous / Limba - 81.2g - 5.95mm - 1378Hz - Balance: 1.6cm (Very Low)

Yes I have.

What you failed to realize was that I was talking about this specific case, and how this top layer reacted to being exposed to water, the sealer is irrelevant. Congrats on your 8 or 9 blades, I have made and sealed over 450 blades.

It's called raising the grain and it's a common wood working practice, not just in blade building. If this were done before, he could have applied any kind of finishing without any problems. The point is that, those fibers that were raised, were already loose, so you really want to get rid of...
