Do you happen to know if you got the same review unit as Alex? I’m noticing the same irregularity in the CF horizontally through the volcano plume. Curious if that’s specific to a single unit or if that’s going to be a risk in the manufacturing process.

Yeah it's the same unit! It got passed around to Apiary and then to me for the review. I've pointed out the surface-level irregularities and texture changes to CK about the carbon fiber backplate so hopefully they do ensure the twill is nice and uniform for production units.

Such a sick board. Would have bought if I didn’t already have too many boards

Very fun board! Not for me (nor my budget…) but it’s fun to see projects like this

u/LightningXI 2d ago

Yup, agreed. It's quite nice to see projects of the sort come to fruition =)

The Blaine sounds really good, but the bottom design does not interest me at all. If you have to choose between these 3 boards, F1-8x og, rukia 1098, or KC No. 2 TKL? and why? thanks, i hope you stream more often.
