What happened to American Hinoki?

Suga D, did you get a blade from him?

That's absolutely correct. He's made a lovely blade for me a few moons ago and I'm totally satisfied with his work.

I've just tried to open his website, but same result: website is temporarily not available.

Just hope it's nothing serious.
You can try to send an email to: [email protected]
I'll try that as well and will keep you posted about the results.

Cool that Suga D had the email. That is fast excellent results.

Thanks for acknowledgement, my friend. Glad i could be a little helpful.
It's good that he's still in business. Seems to be a cool guy.

He is a great guy! I own a blade made by him as well and I am fully satisfied. It is everything I thought it would be and more. Very humble guy who knows his woods and his blades.

Kevin here from American Hinoki, first thanks for the kind words.
I am still making blades.

My website has been down for a while, which was a good thing as I purchased a 3d printer
and have used it to make some TT inventions. Have been working on filing patents on these inventions
which was/is quite a bit of work especially for a non-lawyer

I have invented and have patent pending status on the following products:

1. Product to quickly develop close table topspin stroke development.
2. Product for developing off-table topspin strokes.
3. Product for developing over the table flips/flicks,
4. Product for gluing OX long pips.
5. Product that lets you legally boost rubber without the use of chemicals.
where the effect lasts longer than with chemicals.
6. New blade design that lets a player use a much looser grip without fear of letting the paddle go.

Currently Joola is reviewing the 6 products, and hopefully something may come of it.

If anyone is serious about going into a partnership with me on these products
email me at [email protected]. Although I have patent pending status on all the devices
it cost probably 3-5k to get a full patent issued. I am thinking of something like you pay for the patent
and I will give say 40% of profits generated in the specific country. Or if someone wants to set up a
"gofund me " type website for a product we could work something out.


Best Regards

Kevin
