The goal is to achieve a softer touch, but higher stiffness when compared to my normal AC.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.

Let's take this last blade as an example, basically the same composition and thickness, but with a Koto outer ply which is stiffer than Limba. This would make the blade stiffer overall, and with a higher frequency, but the measurement is the same for both. This tells me that the AC layer on the Limba blade is adding more stiffness than the AC layer on the Koto blade.
The feeling is very good, not too soft (it feels more direct than the "usual" Kiso hinoki), but also not hard.
Oh, I did, sorry.
I didn't. It may not seem like it but the inspiration for the handle was Thor's hammer, and it was made before yours 🙂
The handle looks pretty familiar to me haha!Custom order.- Limba / SZLC / Limba / Kiri / Limba / SZLC / Limba- 92.2g- 6.05mm- 1590Hz- Balance: 2.8cm (Low)
