Handmade blades by Levi Made in Romania

Hello table tennis friends,

this is my first impression of a blade from Mr. Levi and Johnny Erasure, so I want to give a little feedback. I also want to thank you Johnny and Mr. Levi for this lovely gift. It's a real nice blade.

 I wanted a offensive 5-ply blade with Limba-Spruce- Ayous-Spruce-Limba composition and a thickness of 5.8 mm with natural kind of handles. I was given a blade which is at the moment the best custom made blade you can get at an attractive price. This blade is also much better than all the standard blades you would get from all the known manufacturers from the catalogues. I think nobody could do it better at the moment with that kind of enthusiasm and with a intensity like this. I was impressed by many things like the smooth and evenly glassy surface. There are still for example the very beautiful and natural handles made out of Mahagony wood. I was in love with this kind of making blades like Mr. Levi does. You can feel the intuition and commitment of the blade maker. I was placed in a time of good old Stiga blades from the early times. Why do I say that ? The blade gives me a feeling and a good control and a good speed at the same time like just the old blades gives you.

So please go on Mr. Levi and Johnny doing blades like this. You are the best.

Many regards, ttspirit

Where can we buy the red + black blades? It's a great name for a table tennis brand but it's difficult to search for on the Internet because you get so many unrelated search results. 

The standard ST size are: 100 mm (lenght) x 29 mm (width) x 23 mm (thickness) but you can choose what sizes you want.

Nice to to Andy and others giving Levi a chance to show his high level blade making at a reasonable price.  When I was doing research on Levi at a Romanian TT forum before my first order there were pages of customers providing positive feedback.  Johnny is a great resource and helpful in international orders.

Based on your review it sounds like the Levi blade is less flexy, more direct or crisp and a tad faster. Yes, that's it really.  The OSP V-CRWi has more flex, is a bit softer.  Top-end speeds are similar, Levi Basalt has more low-mid range power.  Both amazing blades - <span style="line-height: 16.8px;">OSP V-CRWi suits a full-time looper more, Levi Basalt does all things well.</span>

Thanks Andy! I am intrigued by the Levi blade...maybe I need to pm Johnny...

Thank you

Thanks for the nice review Andy.

The first blade with CPEN handle and 9 ply basalt walnut blade. Unfortunately this it's the last veneer of walnut.
