 There is no "best". It's the blade that fits each players style/level. If your speaking from a build quality standpoint then Leidy>Darker>OSP>Nittaku>BTY (high end)>Donic>Xiom> Tibar>Stiga.

Between Clipper Classic and Petr Korbel, which one is your favorite?

Good point Frogger!  Ok, how about just playing characteristics?  Which one is more fun to play with?

I think this is a silly thread unless the OP wants to re-title.
Firstly, he assumes only offensive blades warrant to be called best.
No defence blades
No 1-ply.
He omitted perhaps the most popular blade in history, Stiga Allround.
Maybe you should call it "Your favourite multi-ply, offensive, Allwood blade"

In that case, Stiga Offensive Classic. The Clipper was too hard and responsive.

I can't believe the Nittaku Acoustic and Violin were both omitted from this list... They probably have the strongest following among the all wood blades (see here: http://mytabletennis.net/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=19924&title=member-of-acoustic-and-violin-clan). I am in love with my Acoustic L-size. Perfect blade for me.

The majority of good all wood blades are not on the list and some of those on the list like the Acoustic and NCT VII's shouldn't be on there at all imho. Acoustic might make the top 20 but it's not in the top 10

How much do you like your Darker S90? Is is worth the $150 more than BBC's or American Hinoki's?

Acoustic, Violin, Korbel, P500, BT550 , Allround Classic are amongst my favourite. 
i prefer 5 ply over 7 ply.
the poll is slightly bias i think... there are 3 stiga blades on the list and only one nittaku and one butterfly...

The best wooden blade is that one which is found from a manufacturers and top level players for so many years (ago and after, up to this moment). More of the best - sellers from different manufacturers are with familiar construction, it is not a secret. In my Top 10 is the construction of Primorac Off - and Korbel Off. It is the same, there is only difference between the thickness in the center ply. The old Stiga 2000 from 60's is same as Korbel, while the old Stiga Kjell Johansson is near to Primorac Off-. Even the blade Waldner Dicon and Matsush*ta are near to these blades.
Another very good combination of wooden plies is Clipper.
Also blades from hinoki are very good.
Lot of good players also found for their best blade for playing a combination between abachi and walnut with different blades between these two - limba, ayous and others.
Of course, it is not developed yet a self-playing blade. :)
I must also notice, lot of profesional players now can't play their best style without carbon layers in their blade, because of the too many changes of the rules...

I am suprised that you don't consider Acoustic in the top 10 ( I am not saying it should be considered in that top 10 list, I don't have the comparative experience to state or dismiss that. My surprise is because of the reviews that generally got that blade).  Which blades would be make the top 10 in your list?

You should add the Gatien All Round Extra and the Banda Waldner Offensive, even though they are no longer on the market for various reasons.
