All-wood blade, top layer hinoki, thickness over 6 mm.

I am looking for a blade in this specification. Can you advise me?

There is the Nittaku Septear blade, 7ply, all plies Hinoki, in the ALL++/OFF- range. Excellent control, enough power even from far from table. Also some modern defenders use this blade with long pips.

Yasaka Masamune as used by Satoshi Aida.
Beautiful feeling.
However, the handling is a challenge because of it's non-standard shape dimensions.
I use mine regularly in practice but never in competition. I am actually thinking of cutting back the width to more mirror the shape of my Darker Speed 90.

The 157x150 version of this is Victas Norio Takashima.

It’s 6.7mm though only made in ST and sits around double the price of Masamune.

FYI - Masamune is listed at 7.2mm, 154x155 headsize.

That or the original blade of Satoshi, the Kokutaku Takashima H3

Oh interesting! I would’ve thought the catapulty nature would not suit modern defenders.

I did see Jian Fang Lay use it previously, though she is more of a close to the table ch. penhold chopblocker/twiddler.
