LF: Galaxy T-8 AN Handle (Anatomic) handle

Never ever heard they existed. Why don't you just buy a FL or an ST and then use grip tape to make the handle as comfortable as you need it. Imitate anatomic by wrapping relatively narrow grip tape around specific place on FL or ST handle to make a bulge exactly where you need it.

Also - T-8 (even FL/ST) is not sold at $25. The lowest price you can find inn the USA is $35-37 (Megaspin.net or tabletennisonly.com). I bought mine from ttonly and he is really good. You can ask him if he ever came across an AN T-8 - it would be interesting to find that out.

I only need one blade so I was checking if anyone on the forum had one. I bought my T-8 on Ebay from tabletenniskingdom for $18 one year ago and the shipping was $2. I did a lot of research on this and the only different handle T-8 I can find is a ST from Nexy.com for $40 with $10 shipping, which is rather exorbitant for a T-8.

You can find ST here (for 34.99 + 5 dollars S&H)

How large is that minimum volume requirement? how much will they charge for the blades, shipment etc.

If it's just ten blades at, say, $15 a blade, then I think we can do it... especially if we could ask them to make the handle just a tad thicker than on regular T-8 (I have to put some ridiculous amount of grip tape on my FL T-8 blades to make them comfortable for me).
