    Here's a couple shots of the Barkov. It's been a long time since I've seen a Darby in person, but there is definitely some loft at the heel on the Barkov, and overall pretty straight through the first 2/3rds of the blade, then a small hook at the end. The only thing I'm not crazy about is the huge rocker, which you can see in the 2nd pic.

    I've also included shots of the McDavid, Pro Malkin, and Backstrom curves.

    How is the length of these blades, especially the Barkov?

    Is funny bc with all the mods he's done to that skate the only thing mach about it is the color scheme and the logo. I wonder if it's even mach boot, but then again Bauer's boots have essentially been the same for the last 10+ years. 

    Looks like it's 12K carbon Curv composite Mach boot with curved outsole. Toe cap is from 2S pro and the tendon guard is traditional one that he's had before. And Supreme white felt tongues.

    The latest tech-mesh boot was called Mosoca and it had the 2X Pro graphics. Not too many tech-mesh guys out there anymore.

    Artturi Lehkonen
    Andrew Cogliano
    Jamie Benn
    Luke Glendening
    Jake Guentzel
    Rickard Rakell

    Jofa didn’t own KoHo, but they owned Titan! But both brands were under the same umbrella and distributed by the same company, kinda like Canstar with Bauer, cooper, Micron etc..

    KoHo were a Finnish brand, while jofa/titan were Swedish. Both were bought by Reebok

    Titan was a Finnish brand as well.

    Quote

    Koho-tuote Oy was established in 1964 by Finnish hockey player Kai Aro. He started the Titan hockey stick development in Helsinki during his student days. Titan stick was developed by Antti-Jussi Tiitola in early 70's. The company was founded in late 60's. Finnish sport equipment company Karhu (Est.1916) bought Titan 1972. Cooperation with Wayne Gretzky started in Lake Placed olympics 1980.

    It's not one piece, if you look at it in full res.

    We've been through that song and dance at length just last year, with the speculations surrounding the mystery Kucherov skate, which ended up being the used McDonald's napkin UltraSonic.

    Bauer doesn't have to answer True, as they own the IP to the Mako, which is a first cousin of SVH's boots. It appears they simply don't have an interest in pursuing that avenue.

    Just as with the undressed UltraSonics, this new boot looks so much better than anything Bauer has squeezed out of its pipeline since the one95 that I wonder what is wrong with the world. I love that they went with the [PROTOTYPE] branding, just as STX did with their first sticks. 

     

    That's the best looking stick since the Busch Balance series.

    I thought this was funny, knowing that we will be zooming the skate.
