FS Killerspin Diamond TX

[Airoc]

Found this recently, very good condition Killerspin Diamond TX with "custom" (non-original) handle, flared, 99 grams.

Good feeling as I remembered from when I had one many years ago, even quite well balanced, but overall still too heavy for me and my choice of rubbers.

I have fond memories of KS even without this lying around and I am not a collector, so maybe someone else finds a way to make good use of this.

Shipping to be calculated according to location of buyer, will send via DHL, trackable and insured.

Asking price for the blade: 40 Euro.

According to this old forum post, it's limba-texalium-hinoki-ayous. VERY unique structure. 99g is way too heavy for me, but that's a fascinating piece!

Unless Killerspin had changed the composition of that blade at some point, then the poster on mytt was/is obviously wrong about limba being the top ply, as the pictures above clearly show that the top ply is koto.
However it (meaning the composition - wheater is is koto or limba as the top ply) does sound somewhat exotic in general, as hinoki as a medial ply and texalium as a fiber are not too often used. Perhaps @Airoc could post a few pics from the side, in order to get a clearer view of the composition. I wouldn't be too surprised if, what is perceived or claimed to be as hinoki, is actually spruce.

Agreed on both counts; Airoc's photos do look like koto and other photos of the blade have a more fish-scaled koto look to them as well. And spruce would be much more common.

If it were 10g lighter, I'd buy it and investigate myself. I am curious how a blade with those materials would even get to 99g, though, unless the handle is completely solid.
