Is there a One Ply Hinoki with anatomic handle somewhere to be found?
And if someone has played with them,if it really is not an Imagination from my EJ-Brain Illiusion can that somebody talk about the differences,man how i envy all that don´t have to search for that handletype.
If you reeinter the game after a long absence,i never thought the Handle type would be the most crucial aspect,as if Speedglue,polyball,etc...wasn´t enough,lol.

The Yasaka Masamune 3ply hinoki i bought has a fat st handle, if you have big hands and are sick of childrens grips, too. Its the best handle I've ever held.

i need nanatomic otherwise i would have bought a Masamune alreadY;i think i have to go with Custum Blade Makers.
Never Seen a SIngle Ply Anatomic Blade,it is a shame.
If anyone knows of a single or 3 Ply hinki with an handle let me know?!?

NO sadly, one custom Builder had mentioned that he get a Kiso Hinoki Single Ply Wood at around mid June.the wood for it i mean.
Most single ply builders ,don´t do anatomic handle.
Well and there is Always Sergio @hipnotic but he only has veneers not a single ply,but maybe i switch to a 3 ply or something else with him,i already have 2 Blades from him which are great.
And i simply have the BTY Kiso Hinoki V which isn´t a bad 5 ply allwood Blade either tbh.especially when paired with harder rubbers.

Yea, anatomic handle is hard. I know its not the same, but theres a nice one ply st darker 90 for sale in another thread here that could be an anatomic with a little tape up top.

ah ok thx for the info,but i wil probably go then with sergio or one Custom blade maker who gets a new Kiso Wood transport ,and makes anatomic.
A bit sad that anatomic in general is probably so out of the modern game,that you can almost cross off 85% from all new blades that come out.
i would gladly search for Xiom Michelangelo for example,i believe that model was buyable with An Handle,and then there is Sergio or Vodak for example.but SIngle ply is like seraching the needle in a Haystack!
