1) I added links to the new Nexy Tamar series in the first post: these are three limited-edition all Japanese Kiso Hinoki blades (5, 7, and 9 plies).

2) Good news, I got my Inca back, today. In the next days, I'm going to organise the testing. If anyone is interested in participating, you're still in time to sign up (see this post).

Edit: typo

All-Hinoki Nexy Tamar blades are now also listed in the English nexy.com web shop.

There used to be a chart at the bottom of the page for each blade on Nexy.com, e.g.
http://www.nexy.com/shop/step1.php?number=1137&b_code=B20091201071556&c_code=C20091202014952
but you're right. Few of the new blades' pages actually have dimensions listed.
Thanks for pointing this out.
I'll add the dimenstions I can find to the initial post, where I list the blades.

Problem is, not all pages have it. I'll compile a list of those that I can find.

BTW, I just checked that on Nexy's Korean website, all blades are listed with dimensions, including thickness. See here for the list of Nexy blades.
It's in Korean, but you won't have troubles in locating the dimensions.

I made a table and added it to the first post.
I made it in a hurry, though, so apologies in case of mistakes.

Color - 5-ply plywood, Japanese hinoki wood, second layer sprus, Ayous for the central ply

Oscar - arylate carbon, Japanese hinoki wood for the surface

Sahara - carbon with thin Hinoki outer plies

Hannibal - ?

Lissom - ?

Laurel - CYPRESS

Dexter - thick Ayous core, Spruce inner pies and Kiso Hinoki outer plies

Labyrinthos - on forehand 2 layers of limba, on backhand thin koto

Spear - Limba - sprus - ayous - sprus - Limba

Spartacus - hinoki jointed with ayous layer

Calix - Mahogany - Ayous - Carbon - Kiri - Carbon - Ayous - Mahogany

Amazon - Ayous used for the second layer

Tuvalu - Ebony - Ayous - carbon - balsa - special material - balsa - ayous - white ash

Calix 2 - Mahogany - Ayous - Carbon - Kiri - Carbon - Ayous - Mahogany

Qabod - ?

Peterpan - Limba, Ayous, maybe Kiri, Ayous, Limba

Arirang - ?

Tamar - all hinoki

I've updated the table in the first post. Sooner or later I'll combine the table and the links to the reviews.

Blade compositions are taken from various sources, including this and other forums: please PM me for additions and corrections. Lots of information is missing and I'm sure I've made several mistakes...

Sorry for you, but although in the picture the blade is out of focus, it looks like this can be repaired easily with some wood glue.

Send me a PM in case you want to sell it.
If I manage to repair it properly, I will circulate it to other members as test blade.

My name is Tommy Zai, and I am a newfound Nexy man! Please accept me into the Nexy Clan

I'm loving my Nexy Tamars. I actually open the racket case just to sniff them. :-) 

Added links to rubber review threads and Tamar reviews in the first post.

I just added to the Elpis rubber review thread:
