This one of two blades commissioned by a forum member. I haven't made a penhold blade in a while so it was nice to build this one, especially with such a unique design .
Composition: Koto / Ako / Aramid-Carbon / Ayous / Aramid-Carbon / Ako / Koto Weight: 93.3g Thickness: ~5.5mm Freq.: 1270 Hz |

This was the second blade commissioned, a variation on my Innegra outer composition with Ash as the top ply. The pattern on the handle is actually a painting made by his father, so it's a really nice hommage. Composition: Ash / Innegra-Carbon / Limba / Kiri / Limba / Innegra-Carbon / Ash Weight: 83.6g Thickness: ~5.75mm Freq.: 1350 Hz |

Sometimes mistakes happen, it's inevitable, it's what you do to fix those mistakes that matters. This was supposed to be a blade for a customer, but I accidentally glued the plies the wrong way, so the medial ply was facing out on one of the sides. I had to start another blade for the customer, but instead of throwing this one in the bin I decided to add an extra layer in that side as this is a relatively light composition and the weight would still be reasonable. The result wasn't all that bad, in the end this is a 8 ply inner/outer composition and very playable. The feeling is similar to the Innegra-Carbon blades I've been making but with a little extra speed due to the added thickness, making this a solid Off blade. Composition: Tola / Framiré / Innegra-Carbon / Framiré / Kiri / Framiré / Innegra-Carbon / Framiré Weight: 91g Thickness: ~6.35m Freq.: 1400 Hz Balance: 2.7 cm (low) |

A little experiment I did using two bouncy woods, Hinoki and Fineline. Don't let the relatively low frequency fool you, this thing is soft but fast! Composition: Hinoki / Fineline / I-C / Ayous / I-C / Fineline / Hinoki Weight: 95.8g Thickness: ~6.0mm Freq.: 1290 Hz Balance: 2.9cm (Low) |

Got commissioned a combination blade for an attacking chopper. After a few back and forth emails we came up with an interesting composition. The result seems to be good, owner is really happy with it!
Composition: Fineline / Sucupira / European Spruce / Kiri / Ayous Weight: 91.7g Thickness: ~6.2mm Freq.: ~1180 Hz Balance: 3.1cm (Medium) |

A fine example of how a good balance can make a heavy blade feel lighter than what really is. Owner was very aware of the importance of a good balance so he intentionally asked for a heavy handle, despite the increase in the total weight. The result is a 100g plus blade that feels much lighter in the hand. Composition: Ovangkol / Ayous / ZLC / Ayous / ZLC / Ayous / Ovangkol Weight: 105.3g Thickness: ~5.75mm Freq.: 1360 Hz Balance: 2.2cm (very low) |

Combination blade for an attacking chopper. Probably the most difference between sides I could get on a blade with the BH side close to ALL- and OFF- for the FH side. Weight: 89.7g Thickness: 6.4mm Freq.: 1184/1140 Hz Balance: 2.6cm (very low) |

This is probably my most requested handle design, but there is a catch with this one. Unlike the majority of my other designs, in order to get the faded look, I dye the wood. This means that it needs a protective layer, otherwise the dye will rub off over time, so I seal the handle. I have tried several different products for this and found that shellac gives the best results, however it still creates a barrier for sweat absorption so the handle can become slippery. Some people have no problem this, but it can be a problem if you sweat a lot, so I always advise customers not to get this type of handle if that is the case. In this case the owner wanted to try it anyway so here it is. Composition: 5 ply Spruce Weight: 100.9g Thickness: ~7.0mm Freq.: 1510 Hz Balance: 2.5 cm (low) |

This was another one of my experiments during quarantine. I hadn't built a a 7 ply with kiri core in a while and I wanted to try this Smoked Eucalyptus. The blade is very linear, not bouncy at all, and has a soft but solid and muted feel. However, you can clearly feel the hard to ply on harder shots. Composition: Smoked Eucalyptus / Ayous / Kiri / Kiri / Kiri / Ayous / Smoked Eucalyptus Weight: 84.1 g Thickness: 5.95 mm Freq.: 1270 Hz Balance: 2.4 cm (Low) I bought this blade from Sergio and it plays beautifully! Just the right speed and no horrible vibrations, like so many machine made all-wood blades. It seems to make the rubbers pop too on hard hits where the harder outer ply gets through the sponge. Oodles of spin and aggressive pushes are a dream, loads of control and a ton of backspin, same with serves. I actually think this Smoked Eucalyptus is like Koto for the 40+ plastic ball, meaning Koto is the new Limba etc etc. It has this unusual property of making it easier to return spinny serves, but yet grips the ball like crazy on thin contact brush loops, both slow close to the table and faster 1-2 metres back. I think the Janka comes in at around Walnut level, but it feels closer to how Koto felt with the old ball to me. Craftmanship superb, service second to none, really impressed with the experience of buying a blade from Sergio. We also exchanged a number of emails regarding ideas for future blade purchases, this guy really knows his stuff! Edited by MydasDiablo - 10/09/2020 at 3:13pm |

As Paul McCartney would say: "Ebony and Ivory live in perfect harmony..." This was another commissioned blade and yes, I will admit it, it was mostly for the looks. But the composition is close to a Violin so it's also a fine playing blade. Composition: White Koto / Glass-fiber / White Koto / Spruce / Black Ash / Glass-fiber / Black Ash Weight: 85.9g Thickness: 5.6mm Freq.: 1140 Hz Balance: 2.8cm (Low) |

Here's something you don't see everyday, a 10 ply Limba blade with a Limba handle! Tested this one briefly and it's very solid, biggest sweetspot I've seen on a all-wood blade despite the relatively small thickness. Composition: 10 Ply Limba Weight: 99.5g Thickness: ~5.45mm Freq.: 1100 Hz Balance: 2.6cm (low) |

No, this is just something I threw together out of curiosity. I wanted to make an 11 ply initially but that would have been too much Limba! 100g is heavy enough...
