Got this beautiful blade from China, The Zhang Jike image Printing is so nicely made.
Blade weight 93.5 gr. It has spruce top ply.
The feel is different with Viscaria, it has harder feel and has more woody feel.
The speed is about the same as Viscaria.
The feel of this blade is similar to Nittaku Balsatec Inner/Outer Series.

It is spruce, the spruce grain is denser than Nittaku Basaltec series, looks like Hinoki... The Resoud spruce even denser, because it is 300 years old spruce, I thought it is Hinoki...

its not the things he owns that matter. it's the man himself.

Some of us don't care what he drives. I just want to learn from his tactics. Cars, watches, clothing, it's all irrelevant and superficial.

Yes It looks better in Person, you're welcome bro Thumbs Up
As for review of this blade, I can't do that, cause I not going to stick ZJK face with rubber LOL
But this blade is similar to Nittaku Basaltec Inner.
Basaltec Inner has more catapult feel, ZJK limited has more linear feel.
ZJK Limited is a bit harder.
ZJK Limited is a bit faster.
ZJK Limited is totally different with Viscaria, Viscaria has much softer feel.

I hope Butterfly will produce mass produce spruce top ply blades soon.

Ugly or not it is limited edition, unlike previous Limited edition which is a Viscaria with different handle, this one is totaly a new blade composition from butterfly.The first Butterfly blade with spruce as the top ply. Anybody who dislike just don't buy

I'm not really a fan of ZJK or Butterfly prods, but I'm sure this is a worthy item.  Don't hate guys.

I don't know why they produce the entirely new blade for this limited edition.  If instead, they make limited edition of the ZJK SZLC, or even limited edition of the Viscaria, then I think it would be more interesting.  Imagine if instead of this new blade, they replace them with Viscaria S T.  This new blade looks good though, it's just no body knows how it plays, and no one will want to play with collection items.

EDIT: OTH, if you are a big fan of ZJK, then I guess it doesn't matter.  I once bought a DHS Xia, without even care how it plays, because I am a big fan of her Smile.  The DHS Xia I bought is not even a limited edition that may go up in value LOL.  So I guess, if you are a fan, then go for it, as there is only 1000 of them WW.

Is it for sale? No?
Well, it might be a good idea each member of Mytt create a topic of his own blade, since there´s no topic to post pictures of the blades... Oh, wait...

Like every sponge covered racket produced since 1960Evil Smile it can play by itself.  You don't have to do anything. 

One would figure a veteran of the pong wars such as yourself would have come to that conclusion by now.Shocked

Spruce is common throughout Europe and America and has attributes associated with the best musical instruments, SoulSpin took a big gamble when it based its outer ply production on Spruce which seems to have caught on with several major TT blade builders of late. Nice blade selection, thanks for sharing.

Pay 10,000$, AUTOMATICALLY play exactly like Zhang Jike??? Sounds like a sweet deal to me.

Was somebody joking or does that blade actually cost 6000 RMB? 

There is too much stuff in the world these days where I can't tell if it is a joke or not.

Edit added.  I just saw the other thread.  It really is 6000 RMB (but to be fair you get the blade carrying attache case, suitable for a weapon, and a blade case within the attache case, and a book filled with thrilling pictures of ZJK, plus a t-shirt that might or might not fit you.

It it a veeeery expensive blade, but if it is a rare item and OP want it for his collection and can afford it, then I don't see a problem. 
Thanks for sharing!

Pete, I do not think it is worth for its price. Quality seems lower than other high end butterfly blades, at least from what I am seeing your pics.

Yogi, the blade cost isn't that much, you have to count the cost to make the box, certificate, tshirt, blade cover.
The finishing is typical butterfly finish, although I don't like to pkay with butterfly blades, it is better than any other brand.

Thanks for your support
I can see this is the last limited edition that Butterfly produced using Zhang Jike name. I got offer from my friend, why not. I would like to collect Zhang Yining limited edition blade but I couldn't find the source at that time.

Peter loves to indulge his hobby. We shouldn't rain on his parade. But it is meant to be a collector's item.

Well sure.  An 880 dollar blade with a few dings on it isn't going to be an 880 dollar blade anymore.  400 bucks maybe, but not 880.

I would think Zhang Jike never played with an 880 dollar blade, although he could probably afford one.
