Looks very nice!

New Sanwei Froster

Seems to have a Viscaria-like structure: "Ex-C Froster, made by KOTO surface, Kevlar-Carbon Fibre and Kiri core.". No details on thickness and weight yet.

Kevlar not quite the same as ALC. More like the Butterfly Omar Assar this one.

Isn't the Omar Assar blade an inner carbon blade? The Froster looks like an outer carbon blade.

Viscaria clone number 5693... hooray

Honestly I’m wondering why there are so much Viscaria clones, while there are only a little maze clones, even though the Limba top ply would be much more beneficial for pretty much amateurs compared to koto of Viscaria ...

The Maze ALC is thicker though, so less flexible, and not more controllable just because of the limba top ply. I think that's part of why it has gone out off fashion, even its replacement the Freitas ALC is not very popular.

A 5.7-5.8mm limba-alc-limba-kiri-limba-alc-limba from Butterfly would be interesting. A thinner Innerforce ALC or Harimoto ALC would also be interesting.

Totally agree Thomas. That would be some sort of an old maze revival. I would immediately buy 5.7/8 maze from Butterfly...

It looks like copy of 365alx/ vyzaryz freeze the cold press technology...

I have 3x Michael Maze alc/CCA unlimited/ 2 x Marcos Freitas
And I think 5,5mm Michael Maze Alc will be best seller... Slower version, because this type of blade is too bouncy for normal player..

Stiga Inspira CCF (inner carbon) blade coming soon.

Stiga Inspira CCF (inner carbon) blade coming soon.

I really like transition to metal plaques (on a condition at it is press metal, Xiom metal + sticker sucks). I don't have anything against paper under plastic though.

 

[LilMunchkin]

not gonna lie. That stiga inspira blade does look good loving the black design, and I am thankful for energy wood v2 coz it means v1 gets discount. yay!!

Don't know, really looks like limba outer-ply though, and better be Textreme at this price (26400 yen).

Nice looking blade. Too bad Stiga doesn't produce the larger Legend FL anymore or I'd give several of their blades a try.

In p.15, there are 3 Banda blades produced by Stiga (made in China) that look interesting, especially the last 2.
