Elevenhockey custom carbon blades?

[aeo 2]

I just stumbled upon this and it seems to be a new addition to their site.

Edit: I've emailed them regarding the site only showing Jr as an option as well as asking about a tapered model. Will report back when i hear from them.

Edit 2: A cached version of the website shows some more info.However, who knows if its a fact.

Given the above it seems the $1500 mold fee might be required.

Rich.

Cool; I wonder what their decision process was in entering the replacement blade market, which is small and getting smaller. They also list a 'TriCore Infinity' model, which isn't explained. I also wonder if there is any actual tungsten in the blade and what effects there are of using that material.

Definitely interested to hear more details about them, the quantity required, and if there's any additional costs. Could be something to look into if they're quality blades!

If its like their other customs I would assume 3 is the minimum. Then my only problem is getting a copy LH kreps to send them to copy. The only one i have Im using.

Its for sure a new product. I looked at the google cached version from feb 26th currently unfinished.

Not to mention they seem to only offer the blade in a junior size. That's gotta be a mistake.

Tungsten is a very dense, and therefore heavy, metal. I can't imagine that there is much of it in the blade.

Do you know if it can be weaved in with carbon fibre? That's where I could imagine it would be incorporated, either as a strip along the edge or in with the ribs to reinforce them. Just thinking aloud here, I have no idea.

I get a return email. There is a $1500 mold fee.

The dreaded mold fee...

The mold fee kills it.
