Similar blade to Garaydia ALC?

[NeonRose]

Is there any 5 ply hinoki blade similar to Garaydia ALC since it’s been discontinued for a while?

Had a hit with it yesterday and really liked the light weight and the dull, muted feeling. That’s the most important part to me. I’m not too fussed about whether it’s ALC or whatever other composites there are, as long as it feels the same and is on the lighter side. I guess a similar thickness would be nice too.

Can't speak for the Garaydia ALC but instead the Garaydia ZLC. Joola Nobilis PBO-C is similar and my main blade. I'd highly suggest it if you like the feel of the Garaydia. It's light, good feel but not a lot of vibration (not sure how to describe that).

Thanks. Have been having a look at it, are there any similar alternatives to the Nobilis that you’ve used or are aware of?

I've used septear feel which was okay but I didn't care for it. Same with nittaku sou. I know victas has a hinoki zlc blade that others enjoy. Other than that butterfly has a few older models but they are hard to get.
