well imo i would reduce the choice between the off nct and the rwv.

the off cr (the one i have is non wrb) feels softer than some off wrb. between the off wrb there are differences (someones feel harder than others). but in general they are thinner blades belonging to the 38 mm era. now they can feel a little unpowered to a certain level player.

the off nct feels softer and imo mushy compared to the rwv. the quality feeling and the crispness is better in rw v. the outer is better quality in rwv. but both blades feel good. to non likers about the rw hollow handle maybe the off nct is the blade.

highly recommended sealing all these blades. particularly the off nct.

get the rosewood. as it gets older it turns into a Rosewood XO. then you can resell it for a profit.

offensive classic (wrb or not):

5.4mm, very flexible, hard.

speed: off for power loops and opening loop, off- for drive/block.

offensive cr (wrb or not):

5.4mm, very flexible, very hard.

speed: off+ for power loops and opening loop, off-/off for drive/block.

offensive wood nct:

5.5mm, medium-flexible, soft.

speed: off- for power loops and opening loop, off for block and drive. this is bouncier than the above 2, but less powerful.

rosewood 5 nct:

I haven't tried it. I think it is flexible like offensive wood but harder, so it should be faster, probably off+ for power loops, block and drive.

You are probably right about Rosewood as I have not tried it. But for all my Stiga blades, I strongly recommend sealing. I tore the outer ply of Stiga EW even though I have sealed it twice (thin sealing though) with Donic Sealer. For Stiga it is better to use PU sealer.

IMHO sealing blades is useless if you glue with copydex (or pure latex) thinned at 50% with ammonia (or water). it is impossible to splinter a blade.

We have managed to splinter an MC-3 blade with 60% latex, so sealing is a must. More so the new CC and NCT stiga blades which are varnished to such an extent that the glue doesn't stick. You have either to sand the blade or to seal it wth another layer of wb varnish and water sand it. The fresh example - Stiga Intensity Carbon.

Can you elaborate this process and the sealer you use? I am experiencing difficulty gluing Rosewood V.

Thanks.

Seal the blade with whatever water-based varnish you have, wait 30 min, take a 300-grid sandpaper, spit on it and rub the sealed surface.
