I am intermentantly working on a set of American Hinoki demo blades. The table below list the demo blades that are currently available and their current status. I will have more demo blades made eventually.
| Blade Type | Wood | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Shake blade (burl handle) 92g - 9.5mm | WRC | On Loan |
| Shake blade (burl handle) 89g - 9.5mm | NWC | On Loan |
| Shake blade | AWC | In House |
If you would like to try out a demo blade or blades, what I require is a $50.00 refundable deposit
per blade (via paypal) plus the shipping which for 1 blade is usually about $5.00 for the
US and Canada and around $12.50 for international shipping. If you return the blade
in good condition within 21 days. I will refund your deposit via paypal. You end of paying shipping both ways and
so for US players it cost about $10.00 to try out one blade. For international players it would cost around
$25.00. Probably best to try a couple different blades so you can compare and save on shipping costs.
Please note that the demo blades are normally not finished sanded, don't have logo's etc.
The reason for this is that players kept buying my demo's and I had to keep re-making
them. If you order a blade it will be alot nicer then the demo. Also the demo blades normally
have burl cork handles which are usually about 4-5 grams heavier than a natural cork handle.
