Or you could send him like, 10-15 to torch and be sold for $100 (or more, I have no idea) w/ a mention that theyā€™re torched by hand, and colors/patterns will vary? ---

Did you ever get around to the comparison with the Mini Star 2? Other than the obvious part of the bimetal being more rim weighted :joy: ---

A creme brĆ»lĆ©e torch (or dab torch) available for under $30 will get you as hot as you need. Iā€™ve torched ti with mine itā€™s quite easy. You just have to watch so you donā€™t overheat - slow and steady and stop before you get there because temp will continue to rise a bit after flame is removed. ---

Yeah, Iā€™ve been looking into some, I actually already had one but canā€™t seem to find it amongst the other appliances and stuff my sister and mother have bought for baking so looks like Iā€™ll need to shell out more for another. There was another video that was torching a knife that was either steel or titanium and they used windex to cool to get a really nice two tone color so I would like to try to purposely get an uneven colorway through the yoyo to show all the shades if possible. Another thing is, looking at samurai sword manufacturing, using a combination of ash, mud or clay like a psudo tsuchioki but thatā€™s usually for tempering which isnā€™t what iā€™m going to be doing. Weā€™ll see. ---

Yes, sorry! They have a similar feel on the string. The main difference is how durable its going to be and how powerful its going to be. Assassin isnā€™t going to be as powerful but will be a LOT more durable/pocket friendly. Iā€™d say it is very slightly zipper as well and I prefer the shape. I do like the minister 2 also though. ![20210427_201556](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/e/a/a/eaa7ca5031030c4463b9f4699e456bf22f3bff71.jpeg) ![20210427_201536](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/f/6/f/f6fdd11125dcb9c685aec93c506ed84f01e267b4.jpeg) ---

Same here, thanks for the comparison! The side profile shots really show the difference. The shape and width of the Assassin really make it stand out. ---

Had a discussion with g2Nate about yoyo design and what my design philosophy is as a whole. Didnt go too much into the nitty gritty of design but it was a fun interview!

Interesting. I watched the whole thing. Itā€™s fascinating that with such a simple toy people are able to make so many variations of it and even though a lot of yoyos look kind of similar, they feel so different on the string / in play. ---
