Is this a custom Viscaria?

No stamp on the front side :s

Plenty of fakes going around. Core looks a bit thicker than my TBS, but hard to tell from a photo.

What do you mean by custom? Do you mean, someone ordered from Butterfly with some special detail?

All the blades I have seen where someone ordered from Butterfly, like Viscaria with straight handle....There was no lens on the handle. No markings on the blade.

So, this is probably that, the person changed rubbers enough for the ink on the blade face to wear off. But not a special order.

The photo quality is not great. But the blade looks real to me.

UPDATE: Apparently it's Lin Gaoyuan's personal viscaria.

No, I claim it's Mine!

It's actually Dimitri Ovtcharov's blade, now that he can put the original handle back on.

Looks real to me. I ordered A Viscaria from the butterfly webshop a month ago and it looks identical. It only weighs 78 grams though and the performance dissapoints. My next blade will not be a butterfly blade.

Lightweight Viscaria is funny off-

Curious, Did you use this webshop ?

Just an observation, but to me this blade looks like it was used by a right handed player - I could be wrong or it could just be odd lighting in the photo but it looks like there is a sweat/used marks on the blade where a right handed player would hold it...and LGY is a leftie.

Alot of people hold it with the logo in, less pinky slip.

True, the owner of this blade used it for quite sometimes too after receiving it from LGY. There's also used marks on the opposite side where a lefty player would hold it.

He also got himself the new LGY ALC with his sign on it.

Fair enough! How does it feel compared to the commercial versions? Any noticeable differences?

A blind test of these blades would be very funny. Also of diff H3 rubbers. Results similar to red wine, i would bet.

 

[PickleRick]

Yes, I did. Oh well, I’ll keep it. Maybe one day I will like light blades.

I have never tried it myself. I live in a different city with this guy.
