Anyone want to see what my custom composite blade mold looks like?

Recommended Posts

Just retreived my custom mold back from the manufacture that no longer wanted to deal with the general public.

Thought I'd share exactly what the mold looks like.

In case anyone is curious, I originally created this blade from a Brett Hull Pro stock. Prior to molding I added epoxy to square out the top portion of the toe. I feel this helps when I push the puck forward and immediately use the toe to stop the pucks momemtum. Also helps with backhand toe-drags. I kept the original extreme blade rocker Hull used. I also used a torch to straighten out his crazy toe curve. It is now a fairly straight blade with a ton of rocker. I absolutely love it.

Here are two photos of what the mold produced..

I had to put up a pretty big stink to get it returned to me. Apparently, in the thousands of molds they have done, they have never returned one to anyone. So... I am grateful they agreed and do not want to throw them under the bus for doing so. All I can say is they are a major player in the pro market. I still have a handful of blades but am attempting to have this mold used by another manufacture to keep production going.

So, with the shift and blade market disappearing, where would one turn to get custom made blades?

I have not seen all the new catalogs.

Bauer still makes shafts and blades

CCM has a new abs blade

Sherwood appears to being phased out...along with warrior.

The writing as I see it will be pro only...soon enough...except for anyone wanting to support abs for online use.

You can probably still get blades through Base as well as Harrow, though I don't know if Harrow has stopped producing and is just selling old stock.
