  This statement is very true.  In Vietnam I was able to get an Ishlion for 80 USD!!! Compare to $150 in the US!!!

This is true with packaging... I don't know if the blade quality are the same... I can't confirm that... but I feel like the ones I got from ButterflyOnline are much more solid and nicer than the one I got from Dandoy.


How about the look? is the one from butterflyonline has better finishing?

nothing beats Mizutani Jun blade in terms of looks, even some boll series blades are amazing..but for the price it looks nice :o


just so everyone knows if you are paying over 55$ for this blade (w/o shipping) your getting robbed
Well, I got robbed then... Cry

people who live in Asia are lucky, my Amultart CS was 210$ with shipping, I know I got robbed but is there any other alternative? Not really! since I called Butterflyonline.com and they said it has been discontinued.

you must be kidding.
i got mine from graeztch for only 30usd.
here in japan,most shop sell it at 50~60usd.
i dont think it cost that much.
 
butterflyonline prices are ridiculous then


They have been driving the customers away and still do.  There is only one guy from my club used to order from butterflyonline but he also finally stops.  I don't know if anyone still orders from them.
