Yeah it’s a W, nobody said otherwise. Kuntosh is also a W Still, two observations based on the data above 1. Edge is getting more Kuntosh-y (sharp edged W) over time, just check out the pics above ↑ ↑ 2. **The “design language” of the Shutter is much more consistent over time.** Which is why I brought this up in the first place. Edge can’t seem to decide if it is a Kuntosh-y sharp W or a traditional softer W Not the first time this has come up either… > [@Edge beyond](https://forums.yoyoexpert.com/t/edge-beyond/292697/59): > > To me, this plays kinda like what I thought it would … a bimetal Kuntosh [IMG\_6932] [IMG\_6931] It is a tad smaller in diameter than the Kuntosh; about the same in width. And because it has the titanium axle and no side effects system (obviously) it has significantly less center weight. Overall I expected to like it a lot, because I love the Kuntosh, and I ended up liking it even more than I thought I would! So essentially the Beyond is Kuntosh Exxxxxxtreeeeeeeeme, with all the weight on the … For the record I like sharp W a lot, so the idea that the Edge is fundamentally a sharp W design, is _just fine_ by me. The OG Edge is the anomaly here! --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.yoyoexpert.com/t/six-year-history-of-the-shutter/307559)._
