Most of the Japanese penholders use a one ply cypress to generate outstanding power, so why is there no 1 ply cypress on the market for shakehanders? Would it be too light or too heavy? too expensive?
I remember there used to be a one ply cypress shakehands blade made by butterfly or Yasaka years ago but I wonder why theres none commonly available fom any of the major brands.
Can one of you blade experts tell me how would a 1 ply cypress play?
Thanks

I just had a look at the Tibhar and it sure looks sweet!
They say its light and fast like I would expect.
I think I'm going to try one of these beauties.

I have a few of these Butterfly custom made 1-ply Hinoki shakehand blades, brand new and all unused. I can sell you one, if you are interested.

Since most Japanese penholders use one side only, the blade can be very thick and heavy. It is more difficult to produce a nice thin lighter 1 ply shakehand that wont crack.

There are actually quite a few available. JUIC & Galaxy have them, and I'm sure I've seen a few others too...

I think the one form juic seems to has a good value. Now, I'm kinda interested into trying one of these hinoki shakehand blades.I wonder what makes the huge difference in prices

I think the Galaxy one is called Kiso Hinoki... no I don't have one, and I don't think it's cheap either.... the JUIC one is quite nice and a lot cheaper than most...

I saw a Darker one in the shop yesterday and I know there was a Butterfly one up on the shelf as well.
In short I think there are MANY single ply cypress shake hand blades available, you just need to look for them or change the shop where you buy your equipment. V. |

10 mm plus rubbers on both sides might be too thick for shakehand blade.
