A few polls below, but what’s the hype over the Kuntosh? It does look like a good, comfortable yoyo. But why do they seldom sell _used_ for less than $100 (og or 5kQV), if you can even find one? And if that’s the case, why isn’t OD pumping out more? **What SEs do you use most often on them?** _Poll ([view on site](https://forums.yoyoexpert.com/t/kuntosh-questionaire/420179/1))_ **Which version do you prefer (comment why)?** _Poll ([view on site](https://forums.yoyoexpert.com/t/kuntosh-questionaire/420179/1))_ **You can only have one.

Ive played both. They werent for me. Nothing in the play really stood out. I think they have some history as a remake of an old yoyo so that gives them collectibility but thats not all some people really liked the 5000qv. ---

Love brass ULs, brass dietz and disks in my Kuntosh. Hard to pick a favourite but I think the mini disks have been in the longest. Not necessarily for the weight, I just love the look of the disks or the brass in, which genuinely makes me play better ---

I have every OD model and the blasted 5000QV may be the most premium feeling throw OD has ever made. Just has some kind of extra magic. PS-I like the OG Kuntosh with heavy SEs and the QV with light SEs. ---

You were right about the Hendiatris… _sigh._ If I can get past that price tag, I might be looking for a Kuntosh. ---

I have both the regular and 5000qv, I much prefer the 5kqv since it feels like it’s got that extra oomph. I only use ULs in both and most ODs. ---

Thanks for digging that up. That’s disappointing. I know Sonny designed it - did OD have to collaborate for part of the production (e.g. blasting, anno, etc)? Looks like the last restock for the OG was six years ago, and five years ago for 5kQV. Maybe they aren’t fully aware of how much interest there still is. Yet. ---

It worked with the Parlay recently. Here’s to hoping 🙂 Edit: I was about to send my email to OD, then I looked at my previous email about the Parlay from summer of last year. I got a similar response to the one above - “Kuntosh are tricky because they are a collaboration but we will make them again if that becomes possible.” ---

I’m personally looking for my last 1A yoyo, so I’m being picky. The Kamuraiju definitely looks super similar in shape. I checked it out before, and it being midsized and having the groves in the catch zone turned me off a little in this case. That said, the Reboot has both of those, and I love it. The biggest thing holding me back is that I’m looking for a Saturday Market, which I’m almost sure OD stopped doing before the Kamu released. If I wasn’t specifically l after a really cool looking throw, I’d give it a try. Right now I’m leaning toward a SM Free Solo. ---

I had both a regular and a 5kQV. Was never a fan of it tbh. The shape was uncomfortable and not very good for grinds. I just preferred my other throws while I had it. [Next page](https://forums.yoyoexpert.com/t/kuntosh-questionaire/420179.md?page=2)
