Viscaria ST custom made.

I didn't measure.

There can't be many of those floating around.  In fact, I had two made just like it, back when Btfly would still make custom blades to order.  It turns out, I didn't like them and sold them for just under what they cost me to have them made (~$250 each).  The guy who bought them turned around and put them on Ebay for 600 pounds sterling, each. 

At first I thought this might be one of those blades but the ones I had were serial number series P and the on that kakapo links to are N.

Here is a picture of my old custom ST blades.  I am pretty sure I would have liked the ones you guys made with Stiga and Banda handles better!  The ST handles on my custom blades were very uncomfortable and very disappointing, and (it turns out) nothing like the ST handles on the original Viscara ST (something that really angered me).

Very nice. Almost as nice as with Banda Dacota handle --

Dacota Viscaria

Simon, you are right, and he (or it) has repeatedly broken the rule about coming into other people's for sale threads to try to sell his own stuff.  All within about a two minute period.

Zapp.

timoboll86 is almost certainly a bot (or someone acting just like one)  Every single post it just made is meaningless, or nearly so, a few words, and was made within a 30 sec period.  How do you post on about eight different threads within 30 secs? 

History now.

I ordered Viscaria custom made from Japan. Custom: weight: 87gram, handle FL, good wood- fish scale

Is it really worth paying extra for a fish scale wood design viscaria??? Does it play better than the simple one?

Anybody knows about this?

Here is a link:

BTW is viscaria faster than TBS if two blades have same weight?

I have owned 6 Vis blades and still keep and use 3 of them. They are all slightly different mainly due to their weights. Attracted by the hype of Vis custom blade, I ordered one in Jan with Butterflyonline.com. But unfortunately I have not received my special order yet because they could not find the right materials to satisfy my weight requirement of 93 grams.

I personally prefer Vis to TBS (tried 3 of them), TB ALC (4 of them), TB T5000 (1) MM (2), and other less popular Butterfly blades after I switched from Stiga to Butterfly blades 3 years ago to better match Tenergies.

Entirely a matter of taste.  Some people prefer blades head heavy.

Old '60s and '70s Stiga blades are like the 1966 Shelby 427 Cobra. Old Viscarias are like a 2004 Honda Accord.  Would you buy a 2004 Honda Accord if I charged you a Maserati price for it?

Well, TBH, I wouldn't buy the custom Viscaria or old black metal butterfy tag one under any circumstances. The same applies to the (S)ZLC blades. I thought if someone wants to waste 360usd, it'd be better spent on the brand new custom made Viscaria ST instead of used ordinary one with black tag. Black metal tag Vis, big deal. Even ZJK has a newer one. Or even better advice: buy cheaper blade and the difference up to 360usd donate to the Nepal or people in Africa. Make someone else happy, it will make you feel better, too.

Also, I'm not nostalgic, sentimental or collector so I don't care about '60s or '70s Stigas either. Besides, I still have my grandfather's table tennis set I believe from the '40s. Are you interested in Ferrari 166 Inter Spider of TT blades?

Offtopic regarding Shelby Cobra: maybe Jay Leno cares about that oldtimer. I'm drooling over 911 Turbo Cabriolet, 650C Spider and GranCabrio MC. And, of course, selling triple priced Accord or Avensis is obviously possible in table tennis as we are witnessing.
