Pictures of your ONE-Ply Hinoki Blade...

Yeah...aeoliah... I will... I just let him use it for a while... it was a part of my memory..

You shaved the blade a lot ! I have one question though : when you hold the blade do your thumb and forefinger touch the rubber ? I used to add a bit more cork sheet so the distance is more or less 25 mm. This is to avoid my fingers from touching the rubber.

Cole, how thick is it? How heavy is it? And lastly how much is it?

Wow....that's pretty heavy!  I don't suppose there's any chance Galaxy makes a shakehand version and is sub 90 grams?

Looks like this is the Kinda Jpen which is extremely affordable, abusable, whackable, dingable n u-can-do-whatever-u-wanna-do-to-it n wouldn't feel sorry for/abt it. It's just too bad this doesn't come in at around 90s grams.

My Nittaku Cho Tokusen A :
Total length 255 mm
Length from the end of  the blade face to the end of the handle : 160 mm
Width :130 mm.

My Kokutaku:
Total : 254 mm.
From the end of the handle : 164 mm
Width : 134 mm.

Both my Kokutaku (10 mm) and my Nittaku (9mm) has the same weight : 80 grams.
I think the weight has something to do with the wood quality also, and not only dependant on the size.

My Xiom Athena Gold RSM Special
Total : 257 mm.
From the end of the handle : 162 mm
Width : 135 mm
Weight: 96,5 g.

You must have gotten the Asian market edition or something like that.  Usually the collectors like the back that is unpainted (actually without the paintsheet), so they can enjoy viewing wood grains on both sides.  A while ago they also produced this way and the box comes with two paintsheets (one black and one red), so you can decide which color to have.
