SDC Handmade Blades

[An0n]

I really like picking up left over scraps from previous builds and make something out of them. It turned out to be a very eighties looking blade! But it's not something I will replicate in the future, so this will be a one time piece. Composition wise this is a inner fiber blade, with 90 g/m2 Textreme-Carbon placed at 90º, and soft outer plies. I was going for something with a good pace and light, more oriented for close to the table driving, rather than looping.

Available FS.

Great looking handle! Now I wonder what the scraps could be from….

I don't know 🙄 but it must be another great looking handle!

You are going the Ross Leidy way, but with better engine 😁

My focus is always the engine, but sometimes I like to have a nice paint job on the car as well 😁

Bravo. Really stylish. Would it play like a Violin?

Thanks. It has the same composition and glue, it should play like a light violin.

Something really simple this time, just because I wanted to use this Etimoe wood for some time. The outer ply is medium hard and slightly thicker, while the inner plies are soft. The blade feels very linear and solid with medium feedback, so it will fit a harder hitter style. The handle is also made from Etimoe.

This is such an interesting thread about trying different combinations as well as a great resource for anyone thinking about trying their hand at making something themselves.
The quality of the workmanship is just excellent, and you have done a great job with the photography as well.

How does that feel, the Hinoki with the Kevlar and the Spruce? That would be interesting to try. Also, how fast is it?

Fast, upper Off range. This is the same composition as Der's blade, just a lighter version, so maybe you can try his.

Hmm, must be another one where the frequency lies a bit...
Frequency says upper OFF- range...

Frequency doesn't lie, it is what it is. I've said this many times, you can't look at this value as the sole indicator for speed.

This is a blade with a usual inner fiber construction, but using a different type of Aramid-Carbon. Typically I use AC with both fibers running in both directions, as this gives a balance between their properties. With AxC we only have Aramid running in the horizontal direction, and Carbon running vertically. The goal is to achieve a softer touch, but higher stiffness when compared to my normal AC.

This was a commissioned blade, the goal was to make it thin but very fast, with the balance prioritized over weight.
