No, kiri is very hard to find here. If you have any webshops selling it in usable measurements, please share. I'm interested in trying it out.have you tried using kiri center ply instead of balsa?
I like the Cpen blade, in particular the traditional Chinese characters with a old school look. How did you engrave that characters? Hand drawn?It's been a while since I've updated this topic with some more pictures.
The last months I have been very busy with renovating and moving to my new house (with space for a bigger workshop ).
I have a lot of blades lying around that still need to be finished and I hope to finish them, once I get settled in.
But here are 4 more blades that I made and sold, that I found interesting:

An upgraded version to the blade I use for competition. Cross bound top plies and a 3rd layer of carbon make it stiffer, while only 3 grams heavier. Total weight is 71g and speed is OFF-. First impressions of the blade were positive.

My first attempt at a CPEN blade. A parting gift for a Chinese friend who coached me the last year. Light and very fast.

A lightweight blade with outer plies Limba. The experiment here was to apply a pattern (inspired by the handle of certain pistols) to get more grip on the handle. I find it quite nice visually aswel. Form follows function.
(Picture will be added later )
A defensive blade. Slow and controlled, but good for spinning. Not a blade I would use to play with myself, but interesting to make something out of my 'comfort zone'.
