I hit with it briefly.  Its as fast as my Primorac Carbon, lower throw and a softer feel, it is lighter than it too.  Hope that helps.

Yes but not his, I'm only interested in anything on the planet w/ FL or AN. handles EXCEPT ur past or KLH Sp of NZ's TBS....Someone @ ta club here briefly showed me a Cpen of this Tibhar blade which aroused my interest a bit n since i've no clue about these Tibhar blades so I thought I ask u guys 4 ur opinions...yeah..while I'm @  it, Shij421, I might as well ask u also the Samsonov Alpha since u had it b4..n now Paddlepalace has this combo on sale...Is this good compares to, say, TBS? It is not that expensive...n the quality of that blade is, 2 b honest, very unexpectedly good as far as I'm concerned....

I liked the samsonov alpha. It is light (80g), if you like light blade that is.. The surface finish is excellent, and splintering is a non-issue. Blade face is rounder than most, hence it is not head heavy. It has a soft feel but quite solid, no mushy feel to it whatsoever. TBS fails for feeling compared to wood blades. I find that to be the only downfall of composite materials.

Oh..yeah..I felt the same way after switching from TBS/KLH sp 2 Korbel...80 g is a little lite 4 me...I prefer the weight of Korbel...S. Alpha's handle looks unnecessarily long...then again its combo w/2 Hammond rubbers costs less than 100 usd..not bad actually...thanks
