It looks really great! I wonder why they don't finish the edges of the blade and the end of the handle at the factory?
Also I wonder how soft the walnut used by Nittaku is, because the walnut we use for the surface, is more similar to koto in terms of its technical and playing characteristics.

The edges are bad sight, especially at that price.

Have Goriki Danshi, which has less porous surface and is more resistant to nail pressure. Dr. N Matador Titan and Matador Texa Carbon are even harder. It seems like the walnut is pressed or/and threaded with chemicals. I can't leave a dent with the same amount of pressure. Bouncing the ball is sharper, more like bouncing on a glass.

IMO, Nittaku purposely uses the mushy walnut to reduce the weight or have more dwell. But let other owners of Goriki Super Drive to confirm that.

I got metric ton of these rubber protectors. They are really nice. They gave me two for each blade and one for each rubber. The Liang jingkun is especially nice.
