I decided that I have too many blades - three of them are 1-plies - so
in order to get some funds and try other blades I decided to sell one of
the most famous customized 1-ply blades this forum has ever seen, my
WRC-10 from AmericanHinoki
Pics_of_WRC-10 Review for both WRC-9 and WRC-10 I have sanded the handle just a tad to make it more comfortable, there is extra foam edge tape to protect the precious timber, and there is a tiny counterweight on the bottom of the handle to make balance nicer but all of that you can take off if you don't like it. Weight: 89 g Handle: FL Type: OFF (plus minus whatever, this is a hinoki 1-ply for god sakes) Price: $70 Currently there are two lightly used rubbers on it; LKT Rapid Speed FH, Gambler Outlaw BH. If you would like to have them on it as well, add $10 for both ($80 + S&H for everything). That's a bargain, my friends. This is indeed a great blade which plays extremely close to Darker Speed 90. Get it first before you get trampled by the mob of impatient buyers! |

Everything's famous! I am just milking my 15 minutes The thing is I didn't realize until I tried it just how good a burled cork handle feels and plays. If it were possible I'd have handles like that on all my blades. No bull... |

By the way, if needed I can install a slightly used Wraith instead of Outlaw on BH. I think however that Outlaw would play better on a soft H1P blade, covering the wider range of play and technique.
Generally, on soft blades it is advisable to install the relatively harder rubbers - I would say 38-39, e.g. if you have Hinoki outer layers. That's my subjective opinion of course. |

I just want to remind you all that this is a unique blade. The wonder of a properly made Hinoki 1-Ply blade is that it plays gently and very controlled on the table but can hit like OFF+ blade with the right swing or flat hit when needed.

Yeah....
we know Kevin's blades are quite unique in his own right...But...but......JimBrO, FYI, there're smart potential buyers (incl. me ) out there who would look at this and think......well...well....ermmm...if they or I had 70.00 or 80.00 USD (plus S&H) on hand to shell out, what would they/I do? what other alternatives would they/I have to consider.....
The anwers are not difficult to find.....
Still, good luck/nice blade, man....
Bump 4 u while I'm at it..

I agree there are tons of blades you can buy for $70. For that matter - there are hundreds of TT blades you can buy for $40! This is for people who are looking for a Hinoki 1-ply... so $70 for a tried and proven blade (granted, some degree of trust in my judgment is needed there) is not much at all... |

No, I never played 1 ply except AYOUS. It was Sanwei blade, and I did like it :) I am selling my WALDNER HINOKI, but it is left hand. Maybe will go :)

I wish! No, it was snagged by a friend from my old country (I have posted my FS ad on 2-3 Russian forums as well). He got incredibly lucky as an acquaintance of mine is leaving for a short vacation there in three days, so he will bring the blade right to his door, so to speak - no need to pay for the slow slow slow overseas mail. Lucky me, as well - I have basically exchanged WRC-10 for your DDWH with a small amount of cash for the balance. That was the original idea... |

Not yet. Now if only I could find a place to send my wife and kids during Thanksgiving (one that she approves of) so that I can go to Baltimore, then yes I could say that... at least for now. |
