Well friends, i´d like to post pictures of all my blades little by little. It's taking me sweat and tears to get them but little by little i´m getting all the blades that i´m looking for. As you can see, i´m only interested in blades with ST handle. Well, get comfortable. We started. Hope you enjoy!

nut'n to sing & dance about the 1st 1 as it has been recycled, re-used & re-circulated from 1 member to the other. I've seen that RECYCLER ST before. The 2nd blade is not genuinely "Made in Japan" & I'd not be shocked & awed by it at all. Oval label/tag @ the bottom of the handle tells me that it's not quite a gem. Raining on your parade, again....Sorry.

My dear tiehwen, you´re obsessed with me!
Are you sure that the Retriever has been re-used some times? I don´t think so. Has anyone told that the Lindmae is made in Japan?

Yes, the Moonbeam is a very stiff blade, so the best rubbers you can use would be a medium-soft rubbers, like Joola Rhyzm 375 or 42, for example.

I keep my blades in their original box, in the closet of a bedroom. I don´t pay special attention to humidity and temperatura, but i think it has a medium humidity % and around 20ºC. PD: My guitar is "outdoor" :

I had a Gibson L5-S custom (cherry sunburst finish just like http://los-angeles-guitar-shop.com/1974-gibson-l5-s-custom-guitar/ - this one and http://www.normansrareguitars.com/gibson-1973-l-5-s-cherry-sunburst.html - that one ) purchased in 1992 and in 1997, 2 years after arriving in USA I somehow ran out of dough and had to sell it $300 for rent money!!! it was not in very good shape but still sounded so good!!!
I hope you sell enough blades to keep your guitar .

For people who dont know about Butterfly Rein Lindmae Special Balsa Carbon ST blade, here is some info for you (sorry if there are mistakes in my translation):
"November of 2004. How the blade was born by Rein
Lindmäe.
It still seems unbelievable that I played with one and the same
blade for 25 years. I still remember very well when in 1979 in Japan I got as
a gift new OFF+ blade. During that time this blade lost a lot off speed and during
the latest test it turned out that after 25 years of playing with it, it had become ALL+
blade. Also it had already been
amended for several times and because of that it gained quite
a lot of weight (105 gr.!). Therefore,
I had been dreaming for new blade for long time.
I dreamed for a fast, light blade with a gentle and delicate touch.
After successful appearance in the Veterans World
Championships in Japan, it was suitable
time to do it and Butterfly came to rescue in
production.
We are pleased to
announce that it is has came to reality.
Fast, sensitive and lightest blade has arrived from Butterfly.
Initially it was
planned to make only few exemplars, but later we thought we will make
some for sale as well."
"December 2006.
This blade has
helped me to win:
Veterans Championships 2005 in
Bratislava two gold medals
Veterans World Championship gold medal in 2006 in
Bremen
Veterans Championships 2007 in Rotterdam bronze
medal
Veterans Championships in 2008 in Rio de Janeiro silver medal
The first volume Lindmäe Butterfly
Special OFF+ blades were surprisingly well
received and got sold out.
Now, we are happy to announce that sales have
received a new batch of those light (70 grams),
and rapid Butterfly blades." ABOUT THE PRODUCTION I CAN INFORM YOU THAT THIS BLADE IS MADE IN EU.
IF YOU DONT BELIEVE THAT IS IS GENUINE BUTTERFLY BLADE THEN YOU CAN ASK DIRECTLY FROM BUTTERFLY AND THEY WILL INFORM YOU THAT IT IS.
This is very good blade, I have played with it as well, but at the moment it is too fast for my level. In Estonia this blade is very popular and many players use it, soon will I. As far as I know you can buy this blade only from Rein Lindmäe Table Tennis

I have the Iolite Neo before. I love the handle and the design. Too bad the performance is not up to par... Still a gem nonetheless.
Are you collecting "good looking" blades Antuan? If so, perhaps you might want to consider Kong Linghui Special, TB ZLF, Kreanga Carbon, Ishlion. These blades do looking spanking nice
I want to see the rest of your collection soon.

Thank you Liulin04, Yes, i´m trying to collect beautiful, exclusive and fast Butterfly and Stiga blades preferably with ST handle. From the blades that you´ve mentioned i have the KLS yet. And i would like to get de Ishlion ST. Timo Boll blades are too thin for me (soon i´ll sell a zlc ST one, hope). And the only Kreanga blade that i´d like to get is the ULC one, but i don´t know if it exists with ST handle.

yes it does. I actually traded an almost brand new Kreanga Carbon ULC (ST) with another member here, but I don't think he will unload it.

One more interesting fact about the Lindmae Special blade. The ST version has a longer handle and also the playing surface of the blade is wider than have the other blades.

I found my Iolite Neo's perform very well to my standards. It blocks well, easy to loop and with power. I have both the FL and the SI versions.

I was thinking the same thing, except I had a "umph" moment looking at the Gergely Alpha, I can't believe I said, "umph, so pretty".

I should've clarify a bit. I was hoping the Iolite Neo would perform nearly the same as the original Iolite, or maybe come to close to Viscaria or TB ALC or something, but I find that it is lacking somewhat in speed compared to the other popular ALC blades. It does have very good control which met my expectation, and the SI handle is superbly comfortable. Had the Iolite Neo pack a bit of "umph" in the speed and power, I may have just found my ideal shakehand blade.

!Yeah you really should keep your quitars away from a radiator. I hope that my much loved Yamaha sg 300 from early 80´s is fit enough to survive near the radiator, becouse otherwise I would have to keep it in a cace which wouldn´t be fair to my lovely lady !

I keep my blades in their original box, in the closet of a bedroom. I don´t pay special attention to humidity and temperatura, but i think it has a medium humidity % and around 20ºC. PD: My guitar is "outdoor" : |

In my opinion... the four blades of your collection represent real value:

Butterfly Moonbeam ST

Stiga Offensive Evolution Erik Lindh
------------- Tamca 5000 Gergely

Great collection! I have only one question - how is possible the old metal tag of Timo Boll Spirit to be combined with serial number on the face-side of the blade? I think it is not possible this combination, especially in 2004!

Yes it is a possible combination. After the 1st series with old metal tag and withtout serial number there was a period with old metal tag with serial number. You can find the same thing for Viscaria or Iolite blades...
About the fact that it was in 2004 I don't know.

If I'm not mistaking, you'll see this combination (old black Butterfly metal tag + serial number) in the "G" and "H" series (meaning, where the serial numbers start with either a "G" or an "H"). I could be remembering this wrong (perhaps the "F" series has this combo as well)... but I seem to remember that the new silver Butterfly metal tags came with the "I" series.

CC stands for Crystal Coating or what? I don't see no CC just may be over-sealed a bit tho'. The neck is dirty & it could be cleaned first before your "Show & Tell". Another ....imho. Sorry.

The blade is not sealed not sanded. It has been used just 3 months. Obviously it has some sweat stains but i don´t want to clean it because i don´t like to "modifiy" the blade characteristics.The bright surface that you can see is the glass powder applied by Stiga in the CC series. And it has 6 carbon powder layers too ( Cristal Carbo). PD1: Thank you for beeing my nº1 fan and for following my post.

LOL @John ah Lumyou shouldn't have cut in as you did. This is Antuan's own topic for him to display, brag & admire his dear/little collection. Go find your own place to "show & tell" your newly funded acquisition. You would need a Power 9 to compliment this Power 7. Antuan's AR SBST is nice, a bit light but brand new never used & clean. However, the label/words (Allround Wood) is missing on 1 face just above the handle. Nice All Round all wood blade tho'.

If I'm not mistaking, the "Allround Classic" is a more recent version of the "Allround Wood" which only has the descriptive writing printed on the wings of front-side of the blade.
