This one is based on a Zetro Quad, however, I used Aramid instead of Zylon since I don't work with this fiber. It's a fast blade with a soft feeling. The handle is also chunky with 24mm instead of the usual 23mm.

Available FS.

Composition: Hinoki / Aramid / Ayous / Soft Carbon / Kiri / Soft Carbon / Ayous / Aramid / Hinoki
Weight: 87.2g
Thickness: 7.2mm

Balance: 3.8cm (High)

The handle shape was also designed to offset the increase in balance caused by the head. So we have more volume on the bottom, as well as a heavy wood.

Dracula ordered a blade 🙂

I will be honest, I had no curiosity in making this shape, but I'm only here to fulfill my customers' wishes. I'm just happy to have customers that go along with my crazy ideas, so why not a coffin shaped handle to go along with the coffin shaped head? And make it extra bloody to spark fear on the opponents!

Composition: Ash / Ash / Kiri / Ash / Ash
Weight: 88.4g
Thickness: 5.4mm
Freq.: 1162Hz
Balance: 2.4cm (Low)

PS: I had no intention of copying Stiga, this was just a fun challenge, so if you really want a Cybershape, I suggest you buy the real thing 🙂

Western Red Cedar is considered a nice alternative to Hinoki, but it's not exactly the same, not quite as dynamic. In result, this blade came out a little slower than what I was expecting. Still, the feeling is exceptional, a clear feedback without annoying vibrations. It's relatively stiff with a medium arc, but soft, which makes it ideal for controlled game near the table.

Available FS.

Composition: WRC / WRC / WRC
Weight: 89.0g
Thickness: 7.95mm
Freq.: 1350 Hz

ALC is one of the easiest to work with. The cut is clean so not much cleaning up is needed to get a good finish. Kevlar is much harder and zylon is the devil's spawn. But that's not what you meant. These fibers are what they are, there is a certain kind of feel people expect when using them, so if a different feel is desired then the best option is to chose a different fiber. Playing with the amount and type of resin takes some of the predictability away, and the result might not be good. That's what I learnt from this blade. In terms of hardness for the hybrid fibers, it goes somewhat like this: I-C < ALC < A-C < ZLC < S A-C < SZLC. And we still have all the plain fibers to throw into the mix. I think we have plenty of options.

Does that make ALC "harder" to work with, with more constraints and considerations?

I do that for other fibers. Szlc and zlc differ in weave pattern and weight. I also have two varieties of Kevlar-carbon, Glassfiber and carbon. But for ALC I only have one.

Interesting. Generally speaking, how practical/flexible/cost effective would it be to use synthetic fiber with a different fineness/fabric weight?

How much more would the finished blade have weighed if you were to apply the resin in the usual amount?

What would you have changed if you had a second chance?

A couple of grams at most. But at the time I sort off had my hands tied because I only had relatively heavy cores, this particular one is about 410 kg/m3 which is a bit higher than the 380 kg/m3 average. In retrospect I could've decreased the thickness of the outer plies and increase the core, that would've given it a bit more stiffness and speed. But I already built another with a lighter core, 1300hz and 6.6g lighter than this one. It's the blade I'm using now.
