I couldn't find anything on the Victas blades, but I did find that the Yasaka Alnade seems to be a Viscaria clone (koto ALC from the catalogue). I also found out that they managed to sign Liang Jingkun.
Generally, it would be great to give links along with the new items names. Yasaka 2017 catalogue |

The Victas Koki Niwa comes with 2 layers of fleece carbon, on top of 2 layers of aramid carbon, making it (the 1st ever?) 5+2+2 blade. The price tag is also nothing short of shocking, for a Made-in-China model.

Viscaria FL - 91g
+ Neo H3 2.15 Blk - 44.5g(55.3g uncut bare) + Hexer HD 2.1 Red - 49.3g(68.5g 〃 〃) = 184.8g |

Far from the first, most attacking blades by Victas have this composition, and so do the Xiom Quad blades (V1, Zetro).
The Koki Niwa blade seems to be a thicker, faster version of the Quartet AFC he's been using since his move to Victas. It's 5.7mm up from 5.5mm. |

Those ridiculus BEE-HIVE weaving pattern interest me.
Maybe it is shorted for Hive Carbon ??? |

Hmmm. Thornton's have posted on facebook that they have Stiga Mantra in stock. The picture shows the topsheet and there is a resemblance to Karis (with the visible pips making lines).

Sorry Mr K, I've only just seen this! Not that I know of, but it's all-wood so just take it to your mad scientist lab and chop bits off it.

Nice but not made in Japan and not inexpensive. I would save my money for better blades with more soul. The blades were made by soulspin. The quality of the blades itself are acceptable but they do not have the knowhow and intuition of doing blades with good handle constructions. Just mass merchandise like most of them. I thought they were building blades for your own needs. I wanted to order some time ago a special blade. All they said was, we can't build it like you want- you have to take our meassurements-and all that stuff for over 100 - 200 euro ? That is to me not really serious. Just taking money for nothing special. I'd rather buy a classical butterfly blade which has a real foundation.

Interesting information Yogi.
Armed with that information, I have learned they make rubber for lots of people. Stiga, some Tibhar, and many others. Apparently they can make thousands of different variations and they work with each individual company to come up with a rubber design. http://daikirubber.jp/ https://www.facebook.com/daikirubber/?hc_ref=PAGES_TIMELINE From Google translations of Japanese from their Facebook page, I think it says that Daiki makes Airoc, calibra, vari spin, Vario, Agrit, and Rize, and also that they have been working with "a company from Korea", which I assume is Nexy. Clearly, they can make a lot of different rubbers. One thing I take from this is that two rubbers made by this company may be very different from each other. So Mantra could well be quite different from Karis -- or it could be somewhat similar. For now I am happy with Karis, so will wait for other more EJ minded people to compare. |

I have thought that something like this is happening many years now. And that's why when I was crazy EJ, I had been came through the same rubbers from different brands. But I got really suspicious when stiga brought out airoc, then I saw bluefire and lastly....I saw from photos the rubber of tsp which is made in japan, regalis, which is exactly the same like the stiga airocs. But I cannot judge from photos, I say about regalis only because of what I saw in photos.

Bluefire, no - that's 100% ESN. But Airoc, Regalis, Alhelg (the original one, not the recent ones with the chinese sponges - not sure about those), Samba 19/27, ITC Powercell, Karis - yes. All variations on a theme.

Heard that all these shrink harshly and smell pretty bad when the packages are opened...might be manufacturer-boosted.

I never wanted to try a blade which is made by soulspin but nevertheless i tried some time ago a blade called andro ligna tour off+ with ST handle fron a buddy. Very bad for me that blade and also for my friend- he put it away because of the bad feeling and bad handling. He bought him a ALC ST blade which he is using. I saw many trying out those blades made by soulspin like andro Ligna and Donic world champion blades. For me I can see it at first sight if it is worth or not trying out a blade. Believe me I have tried many blades till now, may over 500 and more

We all bow down before your magical super senses. But I note that it's a no - you haven't tried these brand new blades. And I remember your truly crazy rant about SoulSpin because they refused to make you a special handle. I'm not sure that they are the problem.
