The stainless steel gives it a unique and premium feel in the hand and on the string without a premium price tag. The organic profile is still front and forward, but with an opening in the gap that reduces friction and adds stability without compromising any comfort or fun. The D bearing adds to the unique feel and gives you a tight bind every time with impressive spin power. ![Assassin-Extra_1024x1024](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/9/6/9/9696309fcf11283480465ae354d865445eb3fedb.jpeg) The Assassin is the last EDC yoyo you will ever need. Perfect to play anywhere with a blend of comfort and performance you won’t find even in your most competition focused throws! # Releasing Friday 11/12 @ 8PM EST. > **[YoYoExpert - Yo-Yo Store - Buy & Shop Modern Yo-Yos!](https://yoyoexpert.com/)** > > At YoYoExpert we deliver the best yoyo shopping experience and an amazing selection you can't find anywhere else.

Love this thing. I did not expect this level of play or comfort from an undersized throw. I reach for it more than I do most of my full-sized metals. ---

Couldn’t resist, and snagged one. I like throwing my General Yo Mini Star 2, so this got my curiosity up with the smaller yet wider design, plus variety is the spice of life. ---

Had to pick one up after following your design process / story for months now! I gotta see why everyone says this thing has perfect response. That’s one of my favorite parts about a great yoyo, when it snaps back in just the right way _chefs kiss_ 👌can’t wait to get it in my hands. ---

I’m looking forward to these coming in the mail in a couple of days. The 5050 is still one of my all-time favorites - fast, fun, super stable, and some of the best and most consistent binds. If the Assassin is half as good as the 5050 I’ll be happy! ---

Steel is very durable. Think of it like a titanium in terms of taking hits and dings, but it’s 75 bucks instead of like 300 ---
