List Of Blades W/ Anatomic

Just curious, what are some famous blades that come with the anatomic grip? I know there's the Maze, but looking around for others? I tried this grip at club today and it feels much much better than ST or FL for me! thanks

My Tibhar Samsonov Alpha is anatomic.

I love my Yasaka G Extra AN.   AN handles are more previlent on Euro type blades.  Hard to find them with the Chinese brands I'm finding.  

The primorac 2000 from butterfly comes only in AN if I am not mistaken

Joola Sting An is very nice also.........

All butterfly blades come in anatomic they are just hard to find.

I played with two blades with AN grip

Xiom Stradivarius

Some like it, some don't... The percentage of users of AN is way much less than the other two (ST & FL)...

Many suppliers also don't keep stock for AN blades because it is not as popular as FL or ST.

Once you feel an AN handle and like it, you never go back to a FL or ST handle. AN handles feel more complete.

I've tried a few blades with anatomical handles, due to other players using them locally.

The Andro Carbon Light All+, Tibhar Champ, Tibhar IV-S, Donic Persson Powerspeed, Donic Persson Power Allround, Donic Applegren Allplay, Donic Waldner Offensive 40, Stiga Offensive Oversize and Stiga Allround Wood, were the blades I tried. I found the Tibhar and Andro handles the most comfortable.

I do have a 90 gram Michael Maze with an anatomical handle, but it gets less playing time than my 88 gram straight handle Michael Maze; which I prefer  and get better results with.

yeah..

almost all stiga blades have anatomic versions and donic blades also

Well, I actually thought of shaving the blade around and reducing its dimensions from the current Korbel size (158mm x 152mm) to the Darker size (155mm x 150mm), which is probably going to remove 10gr or so, although when I finish I am afraid it will look like Ulmo's shark blade! :-) The finishing now is too nice and I am afraid of destroying it, but no fight, no glory! :)

Drilling the handle, which is relatively small, would probably make the blade too head heavy, so I was not considering it as an option...

Other ideas?

PS: Sorry for hijacking this thread.... just a couple of posts...

In short there r many ways to make ur blade lighter. Sorry to hijack this thread or steer it to diff. direction ppl. It won't happen again.   In short x2, IMHO only Bty n Stiga make the nicest Anatomic handles period. The others like Xiom, Andro, Donic n others r either too bulging @ the mid-secn. or too chubby or too slim n therefore still not quite there yet.....

By the way, I have a butterfly x5 anatomic and the handle I find too squarish. The yasaka sweden classic I have has a great anatomic handle, as well as the stiga off classic I used to have, although did not play with it, only held it! :-) A donic anatomic one I found not that comfortable, too bulgy as you mentioned...
