I decided that I have too many blades - three of them are 1-plies - so
in order to get some funds and try other blades I decided to sell one of
the most famous customized 1-ply blades this forum has ever seen, my
WRC-10 from http://www.americanhinoki.com/ - AmericanHinoki
http://picasaweb.google.com/JimT2008/AHWRC10# - Pics_of_WRC-10
forum_posts.asp?TID=17994 - Review for both WRC-9 and WRC-10
I have sanded the handle just a tad to make it more comfortable, there
is extra foam edge tape to protect the precious timber, and there is a
tiny counterweight on the bottom of the handle to make balance nicer but
all of that you can take off if you don't like it.
Weight: 89 g
Handle: FL
Type: OFF (plus minus whatever, this is a hinoki 1-ply for god sakes)
Price: $70
Currently there are two lightly used rubbers on it; LKT Rapid Speed FH,
Gambler Outlaw BH. If you would like to have them on it as well, add $10
for both ($80 + S&H for everything). That's a bargain, my friends.
This is indeed a great blade which plays extremely close to Darker Speed
90. Get it first before you get trampled by the mob of impatient
buyers!

Everything's famous! I am just milking my 15 minutes
The thing is I didn't realize until I tried it just how good a burled cork handle feels and plays. If it were possible I'd have handles like that on all my blades. No bull...

By the way, if needed I can install a slightly used Wraith instead of Outlaw on BH. I think however that Outlaw would play better on a soft H1P blade, covering the wider range of play and technique.
Generally, on soft blades it is advisable to install the relatively harder rubbers - I would say 38-39, e.g. if you have Hinoki outer layers. That's my subjective opinion of course.

I just want to remind you all that this is a unique blade. The wonder of a properly made Hinoki 1-Ply blade is that it plays gently and very controlled on the table but can hit like OFF+ blade with the right swing or flat hit when needed.

Yeah....
we know Kevin's blades are quite unique in his own right...But...but......JimBrO, FYI, there're smart potential buyers (incl. me ) out there who would look at this and think......well...well....ermmm...if they or I had 70.00 or 80.00 USD (plus S&H) on hand to shell out, what would they/I do? what other alternatives would they/I have to consider.....
The anwers are not difficult to find.....
Still, good luck/nice blade, man....

I agree there are tons of blades you can buy for $70. For that matter -
there are hundreds of TT blades you can buy for $40!
This is for people who are looking for a Hinoki 1-ply... so $70 for a
tried and proven blade (granted, some degree of trust in my judgment is
needed there) is not much at all...

No, I never played 1 ply except AYOUS. It was Sanwei blade, and I did like it :) I am selling my WALDNER HINOKI, but it is left hand. Maybe will go :)

I wish!
No, it was snagged by a friend from my old country (I have posted my FS ad on 2-3 Russian forums as well). He got incredibly lucky as an acquaintance of mine is leaving for a short vacation there in three days, so he will bring the blade right to his door, so to speak - no need to pay for the slow slow slow overseas mail.
Lucky me, as well - I have basically exchanged WRC-10 for your DDWH with a small amount of cash for the balance. That was the original idea...

Not yet. Now if only I could find a place to send my wife and kids during Thanksgiving (one that she approves of) so that I can go to Baltimore, then yes I could say that... at least for now.
