Schildkr�t

Do you recognize this blade and rubber?
A friend of mine bought this setup from PaddlePalace ages ago and they don't carry Schildkr�t equipment anymore. My friend wants to get the same setup as his current one is pretty banged up. Does any one know where you can get the Schildkr�t Jean-Michel Saive blade and Schildkr�t Energy rubber?

If it's not possible to buy/find the same setup, what are the closet things one can get that would have the similar performance and play charateristics?

Thanks in advance!

Thanks for your reply. Yes, my friend has been searching for a very long time. It looks like Schildkr�t is still in business, but just not manufacturing this particular blade and the rubber anymore. I think I'll try to contact Schildkr�t directly and see if they can give any recommendation about this dilemma.

My friend has tried few other setups already, but he keeps coming back to this old Schildkr�t setup.

Some of the Energy and Cmax rubbers may be available at:

I've been to that place looking for Cmax and Vmax. They don't have anything. Those so called improved versions are just too different than the orginal versions, a completely different feel of the blades. In fact I bought a later version of Cmax from sunmarkinc.com (no longer in business) and it's sitting home, collecting dust. Anyone interested pm me.
GenomicsKnight, I bet that the reason your friend likes this blade for one reason, its control. Cmax and Vmax are the same, best control blades ever because of the wood they use to make the blades. But they don't use the same materials anymore. Don't know why.
