I came across this interesting ZL hinoki blade on eBay. Can anyone tell me about it? What brand is it? Do they have a website?

That's an air blade, about 18mo old production.

Please let me know if I can be of assistance.

This Air Hinoki ZLC is not the old one since I just worked with Air factory for the design of the blade.
Some of the forum member ordered and tested it. And feedback I got is the feeling of this blade is close to BTY Amultart.

That lens was used about 18 to 24mo ago. Nice blades but the little button blades aren't smooth and are metallic. But the blades play great.

Yes, lense is commonly used for all AIR blades :)
The new version will also has metal logo at the bottom of the blade.

If I recall correctly A Choomai is a local blade maker in Thailand. 

The lense and handle are probably from other blades. 

edit: He owns that ebay store.

I do not have blade making facility in Thailand.
Just work with factory in China for the design then ask them to produce for me. So far, I work with Sanwei , Air , Kokutaku etc to make it.
