Website is up, but almost nothing is in stock.
Of the wood yo-yos – and wood is the bread and butter of Tom Kuhn in my opinion – there is exactly one, ONE model in stock: the Woody! 
That is literally it.
On the metal side, things aren’t much better, but the SB-2 which is their other major classic does seem to be somewhat more available at least.
I hope these guys can turn it around … cc @AaronW

For years they have been sitting on a literal pile of old SB-2 (and Pocket Rocket) parts left over from the last boom. They waaaaaay over-ordered right before the market evaporated and kind of never recovered from that.
Brad sold all of his wood-working equipment over a decade ago, so he has to order new wood parts from the mill. When they sold runs of other wood yo-yo’s, it’s been from old stock or refurbished seconds. The Batik/No Jive 3 (barf) was literally a Redline with new graphics. It’s a lot more expensive to redesign a yo-yo than it is to change the aesthetics. The number of NEW designs they’ve done since 2004 or so is right around… um…
