Well friends, i´d like to post pictures of all my blades little by little. It's taking me sweat and tears to get them but little by little i´m getting all the blades that i´m looking for.
As you can see, i´m only interested in blades with ST handle.
Well, get comfortable. We started. Hope you enjoy! Wink
In order of appearance:

1.   Butterfly Viscaria S T
Beautiful Viscaria S T with fishscale. Excelent condition. This one is the heaviest: 96 grs.

2.   Butterfly Viscaria ST
Beautiful Viscaria ST black tag. Brand new with original box. Lightly fishscaled. A real rarity! Weight 91 grs.

3.   Butterfly Viscaria ST
Extremely nice Viscaria ST black tag. This one is like new, no dings, not sanded. Original box included too which is not usual. Weight 89 grs.

4.   Butterfly Viscaria ST
I sold this blade unconsciously some months ago but finally i could het it back. The pics were taken when i sold it but the blade is is the same condition, it wasn't used while it wasn't mine. I love this blade, slightly fish scaled and top condition. Weight 88 grs.

5.   Butterfly Timo Boll Tricarbon I ST
Another blade which i had some months ago and i sold it but finally I rescued it some days ago. Top condition, like new. this is the first edition (no green line in the handle). The pics were taken when i sold it but the blade is is the same condition. Weight 89 grs.

6.   Butterfly Moonbeam ST I ST
I sold this blade some months ago but fortunately i got it back in the same condition as it was. Very exclusive blade, the bes Arylate blade from Butterfly. Very rigid, fast and soft. Good control too. This one is the first edition (short lense). Weight 93 grs.

nut'n to sing & dance about the 1st 1 as it has been recycled, re-used & re-circulated from 1 member to the other. I've seen that RECYCLER ST before.
The 2nd blade is not genuinely "Made in Japan" & I'd not be shocked & awed by it at all. Oval label/tag @ the bottom of the handle tells me that it's not quite a gem.
Raining on your parade, again....Sorry.

My dear tiehwen, you´re obsessed with me!TongueBig smile
Are you sure that the Retriever has been re-used some times? I don´t think so.
Has anyone told that the Lindmae is made in Japan?Ermm

That's a very very beautiful Moonbeam (ST).  You know what will compliment your Arylate collection?  Keyshot (ST), Matsush*ta Pro Alpha (SI), Timo Boll Spark (ST), and Innerforce AL (ST). =)

I was thinking about supporting your case here, but then you made the statement about Iphone and you lost me. It might be the most wanted phone, but it's certainly not the best phone. I'd rather have the best then the most wanted.

Still supporting you with your blades though, if you are happy with them, that's what really matters. I'm extremely pleased with my Wavestone blades, although they are not the most wanted and I doubt they are regarded as high quality gems

Yes, the Moonbeam is a very stiff blade, so the best rubbers you can use would be a medium-soft rubbers, like Joola Rhyzm 375 or 42, for example.

Nice Butterfly Balsa Carbon.  I've never seen nor read anything about that blade before.  Very interesting!  Great collection you have there my friend.  Make sure to keep your new Retriever in a safe!

A collector from Rumania sent me a PM offering me this blade. I think it is impossible to find in a shop.

20 blades is quite a bit if they are all nice quality blades. Smile
Best of luck going forward with your collection – as a collector myself, I sure know the good feeling of building your collection.

Beautiful collection.

What are you storage like? Are you planning to control humidity and temperature? If I am going to do something like this, I would do something like what guitar collectors do.
