Hey guys.. Chime in with what you consider to be the "best" blades money can buy for $40 or less.

I know I know, it's all subjective and "best" is depending on the style you play, your strengths, preferences, etc. I understand that there is no such thing as "BEST" in TT. I just want to see how this experiment goes.

So, for "Best" let's parse it by style or purpose.

For example, i think for chopping defense/ Modern Defense, the Defplay Senso is the best blade for under $40.

Offense? Allround? Retrieving? Looping? Blocking? Push Blocking with LPs? Cpen? Jpen?

Remember, state the style and maybe why you think the blade is the "Best" blade for that particular purpose. Clones and lesser known blades might get you style points. ;)

I am nominating Galaxy/Yinhe W6, supposedly Chinese Yasaka extra clone - great for looping, easy to control, beginner friendly, quality built and didn't splinter on me after numerous rubber changes and it can be had for 19$ on aliexpress which has to represent one of the better values out there.

3rd vote for Japan style chopping, Defplay Senso.

For Chinese style chopping, Toxic 3. Defense Alpha and Dr Neubauer Barricade Def have gone exceeding USD 40 if inflation accounted :)

Hey! It never used to be lol. I haven't checked in a while. It is a do everything blade. I have several do everything blades in my list but unfortunately all of them are over 50 bucks.

If I had to pick one under 50 it might be kokutaku Tulpe 703. My first blade. Used it with double inverted and it had great feeling.

Ha, no I got your reference, but I didn't understand Iskandar's "hee hee hee." What'd I miss? :^) :lol:

And how did you glean that it's the N-11?
