The choice to create the [SS Koi](https://shop.yoyoexpert.com/collections/new-releases/products/stainless-steel-koi-by-yoyofriends?variant=42843883405502) as their first full stainless steel yoyo showcases their commitment to innovation. Stainless steel, with its high density surpassing aluminum and titanium, presents unique challenges in manufacturing, requiring thin walls and precise craftsmanship. However, yoyofriends decided to leverage the organic shape and versatility of the Koi design, adapting it to the slightly undersized nature of stainless steel.
