in tabletennis11 there are 3 new nittaku blades.

In the image it is stated that it is made in Germany.

Holz seiben is allwood. 7 ply allwood with spruce outer ply.
All three of them are very good looking.

If you are interested in these blades, you should check this site to see basically the same blades made by the same people (Soulspin) only you can get about any kind of handle you want:

I've not tried their rubber but plan to.  The people who run the company are great to work with. 

I live in the US.  Soulspin shipped to me without problem.  Martin who works at Soulspin speaks excellent English.  Actually it may well be that one of the basalt blades they are building for Nittaku is new and different from their own.

inner has the fiber close to the core and outer has the fiber directly under the outer ply.

no one try it ? any review ?

I know that i am awakening an ancient thread, but I feel the need to share about the basaltec outer. The combination of feel and speed it possesses is wonderful. It is, in my view, on the mid to low end of OFF. It is certainly slower than my garaydia zlc and alc blades, but that is not to say that it lacks speed. In fact, it has plenty of pace when I need it. At the same time, I feel nice confidence when using the basaltec, as my balls seem to clear the net and land on the table with ease. I find it to be more linear and less unpredictable than the IF ZLC, Garaydia ZLC, Garaydia ALC, Appelgren WC 89, vega pro, etc. Plus, the feel is better than on those blades. It has, for my taste, just enough vibration to have a nice touch, while still feeling stable. Hard to describe exactly how it feels (pure zylon would be closest, but is still not the same). Finally, this blade is controllable up close, while still allowing me to loop/counterloop with ease from mid distance. With T80 on FH and sriver on BH I was having higher quality points than ever with my 2200 rated coach. My opening shots have never had such quality
