Recently I've been lucky enough to have a few blades custom made for me.
The top ones are a Golden Viscaria (so no one will tell me to just get a Golden Vis anymore, lol), and then a W968 structured blade made by Ariex, a Taiwanese brand. I met and played with Mr. Chen, the current owner of Ariex at a club in Taipei and got to visit his workshop, during which I asked him to make me a custom blade. Due to him not having any current blade with the same composition, my blade comes with no label, except the logo on the bottom. There was some miscommunication between us due to me not speaking Chinese and Mr. Chen's somewhat limited English, the handle is not as what I envisioned it to be, but still not bad at all.
The bottom two are all made by @SDC, also with W968 structure. I've been on Sergio's queue for more than a year and was really happy when my turn came. After a lengthy discussion about how I wanted my handles to look like, Sergio awesomely delivered more than what were asked.
After trying virtually all of the ALC/KLC compositions on the market, I decided I like the classic inner KLC feeling the best, so been looking for "the one" past two years. I think that I found mine, not gonna say what it is, haha. All in all, I'm very happy with the craftsmanship and the playing characteristics of them all, except I still need to learn how to adjust to the cybershape one.
The weights of them are
96g,95g
96g,90g
Yeah, I like heavy stuff.
