Victas Koji Matsushita ZC DEF blade

I can verify, that the outer ply is koto - without any doubt.
For me the core looks like kiri while the second ply may be ayous.

I have both the ST and the FL handle blade and I noticed the straight has a mutch better balance in hand. It is easyer to serveand because the hand slips up more on the rubber (the wings are more abrupt). Also twdling is easyer with the ST handle. The ST is 1/8 of an inch shorter than the FL and that is also a positive. Here are some photos of both side by side...

ST handle looks kinda short compared to the FL one.

yes - they list the ST handle as 97 x 24mm, which does seem very short.
