I recieved this yoyo from a trade a few weeks ago and the original owner had no idea what it was. Ive searched the web far and low and still have no clue, any help? 0 logos or engravings on it. Has an unusually short and fat axle. Ignore the polished rim ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/9/f/a/9fa0d6bdc1691290ef72f57a64ba1041b44868c4.jpeg) ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/4/d/1/4d14340aca975a91c24a1f19c92596ccad5a1196.jpeg) ---

I don’t now but it looks awsome ---

I’m far from an expert on them, but it almost looks like a YYR (no idea which one though). That axle doesn’t look right though. ---

That looks like a C3yoyodesign Dark Sonic that was stripped raw ---

Looks like either a C3 Dark Star or Darksonic. Yuki ---

Dark Sonic uses broad pads and the Dark Star has rounded and much less beefy rims. My guess is it’s a one off yoyo that someone machined. ---

Well whatever it is its pretty dang good, and it had a clear ano on it too, i had to sand it a crap ton before the polish eould take. If its hand machined then they did an excellent job ---
