RBK P34 Modano Cruve Question

[Docter Pepper 0]

Is is the same as the old Easton Modano curves? RBK isn't listed on the Pattern DB. here is a link to RBKs curve page

same or close to it from what i've seen.

Its an exact replica. I have 4 Modo 6K's.

Does anyone know what curve replaced the Larmer from sherwood?

rbk blades dont fit regular tapered shafts correctly, just to let you know

Hmm. Well i ordered the 6K shaft and it comes with 2 6K blades. I assuming they will work together.

Hell, my rbk 6k blade didnt fit properly in my rbk 6k shaft - the one that came preinstalled.

It got loose, so I added more glue, and it got loose again, so I had to add tape. Maybe I got a bad batch or something.

I have 3 6Ks in 3 R2 Xn10s and they fit perfectly with one layer of tape on each side. It doesn't fit perfectly, but then again I have never found any shaft/blade combo to fit perfectly.

i luv modono curve and i have never found a blade that fits well either :(

Unless they had an inconsistent batch the Rbks I saw weren't exactly Forsberg clones and were pretty damn good curves. Looked to be more of a little wedge than the Forsbergs; longer and had a constant amount of shovel to them. I just wasn't going to drop $38 for a damn 3k blade.

Actually Mack, I find my forsberg to be a bit more wedgey than my rbk 6k. My forsberg is a hybrid synthesis blade though. (I also have an old Modano Ultra Lite blade that matches up to the hybrid) Still, the 6k is a rounder curve (if that makes any sense), and is more open than the forsberg.

I also found the NBH (vap XX/XXX PM9) to be more wedgey, and the Warrior dolo (fedorov) to be more round.

[mack 44]

Damn, now I'm going to have to go buy the one I saw because it looked more, no one will get this, Ciccarelli/Thornton-ish of a heel than the Forsberg.

That's probably inconsistency. The higher end blades (5K, 6K, 7K) have been exactly the same. I have seen 3Ks and 4Ks that have varied though, so that may be why you saw what you did.

[mack 44]

That's what I figured. Now I have to go find it in the batch because it was a nice little curve.

"My forsberg is a hybrid synthesis blade though."

Locust, are you sure it was a Forsberg Hybrid Synth? I have a Hybrid Synth and it's a Modano(I know semantics). I thought they renamed the pattern later, when the Synth blades became Synergy II's? I'm probably wrong though...

Anyway I have a Hybrid Synth Modano and a Hybrid Lami(Standard) Forsberg and they are pretty close, not exact(mostly differ in overall blade shape/size), but the curve and lie are the same, which is what I'm most concerned with.

[DamnLocust 0]

Yes, they did rename the pattern, actually before they switched from Synthesis to Synergy II. ('05 model year I believe, and Syn II came out for '06) It's definitely a Forsberg.

The inconsistencies that I have seen have been from the hybrid style blade vs. a full composite style blade- say a CNT Z-Carbon, or one you'd find on a OPS from easton. Wood blades are not consistent at all.

The differences you see in your synth hybrid and hybrid lami would likely not be found when comparing a CNT Z carbon blade and a synergy II blade of the same pattern, since the full composite blades use a more exacting mold.

Yea, I can see why there would be minor differences between fully composite and Hybrid style blades. But the diff. on the 2 blades I have really aren't a big deal. The lie is correct, which is my pet peeve.
