BTY Korbel question

[John_]

Hellooo!

Does anyone know if the Petr Korbel has a hollow handle, or if it's solid?

And how the weight distribution is compared to other blades? (compared to viscaria or clipper for example)

Thanks!

From a brief stint with a club mates Korbel it felt slightly more hollow than my current FZD ALC. It also felt pretty balanced to me weight wise (but don’t take my word for it because I use heavy rubbers and like a head heavy blade, my club mate used some light rubbers on his korbel)

Ok, thanks for the input.

Handle is probably milled out at least a little bit

Slightly larger than average headsize (158x152) and slightly slim handle makes for a bit more head-heaviness when using heavy rubbers.

I have Korbel made in Japan, Korbel made in Hungary and Viscaria. Scarfed above is totally correct

The European version is easier to find lighter in weight than Japan's counterpart and it has a bigger handle flared than Jap version, but Japan version has that unbeatable awesome touch that everyone recognise.
