It was actually $50 with free shipping and took a month to arrive and weighed 98g.
First of all - sorry for bumping an old thread as this seem to be the biggest deadly sin around here
I just received a Korbl Japan (silver tag) which I bought via Rakuten. I'm really curious about the weight as mine comes in at 90g. How can it differ so much? 8g is a lot.
Wood is a living thing and quality control for unofficial sources and official sources may vary.
Fair enough. Does it indicate quality (i.e. heavier = better) or is it purely down to personal preference?
I normally prefer fairly light blades so I think that 90g will be just right for me. I just bought it to try out some rubbers that my inner EJ has invested in.
Japanese tend to look for a blade with lighter dead weight while the rest of the world tend to prefer heavier blade. So if you prefer light blade, don't worry too much about it as the quality won't be affected that much according to ex-chief craftsman at Butterfly.
Does this imply heavier = higher quality / better wood?
Sorry to go into semantics but what do you mean with: "as the quality won't be affected that much"?
Does this imply heavier = higher quality / better wood?
