Agreed, it’s so thin that it seems raw, but has that coat of protection for years to come.

They sold it to me with that string, (I don’t know if it came with that string as standard or if its previous owner changed it:)

How come all of these have a sort of sheen to them. Do they come finished with something or just sanded to a very high grit?

I agree with what @adamantiumpops said above. The weight distribution is concentrated in the center, which makes varials and flips easier. Also the pull-start hub is a very cool feature.

I’ve only played with the fixed blank so far, which I thought worked quite well out of the box.

The walnut one was moderately smooth for a wood yoyo out of the box. The grain pattern was similar on both sides and the grain direction was mirrored, which helps the smoothness. I need to tune my oak one more to get it to my liking. It’s two halves are less similar and one half has some sapwood which I think throws off the balance a tiny bit.

@Upmanyu theres definitely a nice finish on these. Maybe a thin poly or similar varnish. You can still feel the grain, but it feels different than an oil/wax finish.

I was asking about the Kasm

The Kasm plays great! I really like it for 0a/Modern Responsive. The walls are high (great for stalls), but the inner recess/groove prevents snagging you sometimes get with high walls. And the B bearing feels like a great fit. I give it a hardy recommendation :+1:. Maybe my favorite ~$25 modern responsive. It plays as good as yo-yos two or three times that price.

@Mazdarx7FD is this ever going to be in production?

First mail day in awhile! But worth holding off for something unique and great! What a treat, the response is great. I really really like it with the D bearing. Super consistent and reliable with stalls and snaps when I want it to and sleeps when I want it. It’s perfect for me, Its the only wooden throw that hits all the marks. But it does vibe a lot. The only unfortunate downside of the one I got

Anyone wanna buy a tmbr?

What a fun mail day!

@IMArocketman thanks for hooking me up with some string samples. Man are they soft, looking forward to putting them through their paces.

ZGRT Alebrije arrived in time for Fixed Axle February. These are a cool design.

A&A string on Atmos Abel looks so good!
