Has anybody tried the Ariex hinoki blades? The wood quality looks even better than the recent KOkutaku Kiwami blades.   Edited by ChichoFicho - 03/09/2017 at 3:36pm |

I see them on my FB feed they look nice. You can buy direct. I think they make the blades for Coach Tony .

I will... none of my shops carry them yet. Last time I tried Taiwan Hinoki it was on the hard side.

They import their hinoki from Japan. It's kiso hinoki not Taiwan. I like their blades because they 163x135 mm and around 100 g unlike the small face kkt and darker blades. I still don't understand why KKT and Darker are wasting their high quality wood on small face blades

Yeah I saw they claimed it was Kiso but I am skeptical. The blades I saw on ariex sport are beautiful and some are expensive. I was going to order direct one time but had problems with their site and they were not very helpful. They have a nice 11mm blade out now.

If you like the Butterfly shape they should have the RSM Gmax on sale soon since it will no longer be made.

I tried to order this one - 107 g and 11 mm. But they don't reply to emails :( The quality looks much better than RSM GMAX.     Edited by ChichoFicho - 03/10/2017 at 4:14pm |

I might get 1 & also might as well ask my buddie, Ryan, to sand the neck for me. Good sanding job. Ryan.

Yup, tried the 1 ply hinoki shakehand blade and it was fast! It had a nice feel to it.
